Have-A-Heart CPR Fundraiser FAQ's
Is CPR fundraising easy to do?
Yes. Our Have-A-Heart Save-A-Heart fundraising program is quite simple to set-up and run. We provide you with the customized promotional materials for your fundraising program. You email and distribute your promotional materials to friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and local employers. Participants log on to your personalized fundraising information page for complete details, contact information for your group's fundraising program and to register. Your customized page would be www.Askthesafetyman.com/GroupName. Participants register online with their credit card. Participants receive a confirmation email with a link to the online training site and their log-in code.
Participants can start, stop and resume the training as their schedule permits. After successfully completing the tests at the end of each section, participants receive a training completion certificate that can be downloaded and printed. Participants will receive a course certification card in the mail within 14 days after completing their training. At the conclusion of your fundraising program, or shorter intervals for longer fundraising programs, you group contact will be mailed a check for your fundraising proceeds. It's just that simple!

Does Askthesafetyman.com provide fundraiser kick off programs?
No. While we would love to work with the kids, Askthesafetyman.com does not currently provide fundraising kick off programs. Why don't we provide kick-off programs?

Does Askthesafetyman.com provide any incentive programs?
No. In order to maintain our training costs at such low levels, we do not add any additional costs to your fundraising program. While this may not be typical of most fundraising programs, we feel that your group can decide what, if any, type of incentive program to offer. If you do decide to offer an incentive, we recommend a broad based participation incentive program. That means everyone takes part in the incentive program equally. That means pizza parties, ice cream sundae parties, etc. Something that all the children can participate in regardless as to the number of registrations they generated. So, your group can either save the money that would have gone into your incentive program or you can decide as a group how you would like to support participation. Just remember to leave some extra money in your budget to cover those expenses. Click here to register or call us toll free at 1-800-277-2267 Ext. #2.

Customized Fundraiser Web Page
In order to ensure that your fundraising effort is as successful as we can make it, we develop a customized web page for your group's fundraiser. You will be asked to email us group logos (if available), group photos, video clips (if you like) and some written information about your group, it's mission, history, fundraising goals, etc. We do not have any Askthesafetyman.com branding on your group's fundraising web page. So, if anyone in your group is handy with computers and wants to prepare some information or graphics for your fundraising event, we'd be happy to post it on your page. The web address for your fundraising page would be http://www.Askthesafetyman.com/NielArmstrong (substituting your group name for NielArmstrong obviously).
This customized fundraising web page also contains the registration system for individual participants as well as a link to a group training form (in case you get a company that would like to take advantage of the very low cost training available through your CPR fundraising program).
Take a look at the sample fundraiser page that we created for the fictitious Niel Armstrong School.
