#samsales Consulting SMYKM Charity Event

Organized by Samantha McKenna

About This Fundraiser

The #samsales Team is ecstatic to run our second annual virtual charity event supporting The Alzheimer's Foundation, The Fisher House Foundation, The Fund For Global Human Rights, and World Central Kitchen. We plan to host our event on Thursday, October 13th from 12:00-1:30pm ET, where a line up of organizations will each have 5 minutes to pitch their product to our VIP Panel of judges. In the process, we'll collect donations from those pitching to benefit our chosen charities while also giving the sales community a great way to network and help them get some quality at-bats with heavy hitters in their target markets.

Every dollar we raise here will go directly to benefiting the charities we are supporting, and we hope to beat our goal last year by raising $75,000 for 2022. We hope to see you at the event, and don't forget to register to attend!

This fundraiser has ended. Thanks to everyone who donated!

Fisher House Foundation

Fisher House Foundation builds comfort homes where military & veterans families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital. These homes are located at military and VA medical centers around the world. Fisher Houses have up to 21 suites, with private bedrooms and baths. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room and an inviting living room. Since inception, the program has saved military and veterans’ families an estimated $407 million in out of pocket costs for lodging and transportation. Fisher House Foundation also operates the Hero Miles program, using donated frequent flyer miles to bring family members to the bedside of injured service members as well as the Hotels for Heroes program using donated hotel points to allow family members to stay at hotels near medical centers without charge. The Foundation also manages a grant program that supports other military charities and scholarship funds for military children, spouses and children of fallen and disabled veterans.

To eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. The Alzheimer's Association is the world's leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. We value inclusivity, community, accountability, agility, and integrity. Our commitment to transparency, research, and diversity and inclusion helps to fulfill our vision: a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.

The Alzheimer's Association's powerful advocacy witnessed the Improving HOPE for Alzheimer's Act signed into law through the Association's leadership. At the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's participants walked in small groups in their neighborhoods to raise $86 million.
