TEAM UP FOR WOMEN | Host Your Own Event

Fundraising to support our two-fold mission is at the heart of the Mary Kay Ash Foundation℠. That’s why we created Team Up for Women to help our supporters spread awareness and raise funds in support of eliminating cancers affecting women and ending domestic violence.

With our HOST YOUR OWN EVENT campaign, you can rally your local community around an in-person event benefiting the Foundation.

HOW IT WORKS: Register your event to get an EVENT FUNDRAISING PAGE where you can enter your net proceeds. Then plan, promote and execute an event of your choice and donate at least 50% of the proceeds. You can raise money with ticket sales, silent auctions, sponsorships and more!

WHO SHOULD REGISTER: Event captains should register their event, along with any co-hosts who should receive credit for their contributions. If an event has multiple co-hosts, credit will be evenly divided between registered hosts.

WAYS TO FUNDRAISE

• 5K RUN / WALK: Partner with local officials to organize a physical 5K race in your community.
• PINK IN THE PARK® / PINK IN THE RINK®: Partner with a local sports team to organize a pink-out game.
• PROFIT SHARE EVENT: Partner with local business for profit-share fundraiser where a percentage of sales benefit MKAF. (e.g. % of MK Sales, Kendra Gives Back at Kendra Scott stores)
