We wanted to do something to be meaningful and beneficial to all parties involved in this fundraiser. We thought that doing an online fundraiser would be beneficial:

• To encourage shopping from home.
• To promote small businesses and those trying to make ends meet during the pandemic.
• To raise awareness about our cause and organization
• To create an event that doesn’t require a large out of pocket for our nonprofit, vendors, or those wanting to donate, but don’t have extra funds
• Many people will be doing holiday shopping online

We are not requiring any additional amounts beyond the one-time registration fee. We will greatly appreciate any donation amounts that your company or person can afford. We do not want to pressure any businesses right now; appreciate you considering this cause.

Additionally, we are asking for feedback after the event. We hope to have a great response and would love to make this a regular shopping experience for upcoming holidays. Please let us know if you would like us to contact as the next shopping holiday is approaching. 

All vendors will be required to specify their individual business’ policies regarding:

• payment
• shipping
• refunds/exchanges
• dispute policy
• other disclaimers vendor-specific

prior to registering

We’re sorry, but no refunds will be issued by our organization, unless there is an error on our end.

I’m sorry, we’d love to, but we do not guarantee anything. We’d love for vendors to encourage their families, friends, networks to stop on to shop.

Most of the setup will be done on our end. All you need to do is make sure to submit a logo or at least a business name. If needed, we can create a nice font with your business name.

This is the responsibility of each vendor to calculate, collect and pay as they are required.
