Our team did a portrait fundraiser with Olan Mills in 2006 and also 2007. We made $1410 for two days. The photographer came to our place and did the pictures. Everybody loved it, and they said everytime they look at that picture, they will remember that it was for the donation they gave to relay for life. We are going to do it again for next year. Since it is getting close to Easter, I thought I would let you know about it. We did ours at Christmas time, but Easter and Mother's day is good also. Our contributors made their check directly to ACS. Olan Mills did not take any of it. I found out about it when I went to their website to look at my pictures I had done in a studio. Hope this helps someone with ideas.

Added Bonus to Portrait fundraiser

I have spoken with my person at olan mills and told them I put this information up so other teams could use the information. She said if you tell them you found out about the program on this forum, they will give you a free portrait package if you do the fundraiser. Be sure to mention that you found out about it on the forum. Their pictures were great and you can get some for free if your team does the fundraiser. We made good money with this program.

You can also check with www.thinkpinkphotography.org and see if there is a local one in your area if you don't have a chain to work with us. Many of us (the photographers on there) would be more then happy to work with Teams. That's one of the things we're doing as well!
