Where to start?

Unread post by Clare897 »

Okay, so I have emailed my charity and sorted out that they would provide me with a letterhead and a letter of referal thing.
Now I need to start collecting the autographs and I was just wondering if there were any celebrities who send good autographs or even memorabilia?
Who have you guys had good replies off of?
Also I plan to sell my autographs on ebay charity site has anyone had any really good autographs that have sold on there?
Thanks
Clare

What is the process for getting the charity permission? I am very interested in collecting for Treehouse or Teenage Cancer Trust, but these charities seem to big for me to collect for. Could anyone please help! I really want to get into it, and help a charity raise money.

Send them an email or phone them. They are bound to have a local area fundraiser near to you and they will probably put you in contact with them. They might even wanna arrange a meeting with you.

Do you give the charity the autographs? Or do you sell them, then give the charity the money?

Thanks, and I guess I'll need some headed paper too!
