Phantom Tea

Update! May 2007 - Over 75 members are participating and they have raised over $24,000.

The Foundation for Ichthyosis & Related Skin Types is pleased to announce our First Annual "Phantom Tea" national fund raiser. The Phantom Tea is a make-believe tea party that you invite your family and friends to attend. Using an amusing and heart-felt verse on a cute invitation, you ask them to help you raise the funds necessary to carry on the important work of the Foundation. F.I.R.S.T. will supply you with the tea bags & invitations to be given to your family, friends, and coworkers. In the comfort of their own home, they will sip a cup of tea, make a donation, and toast to a cure for ichthyosis and the related skin types.

As a national organization where our members are located in all different parts of the country, our biggest fund raising challenge has been trying to get everyone involved in a "grassroots" event. There are many of you who may have the best intentions to help raise money, but with family and work commitments, it can be overwhelming and hard to get started. This fund raiser is simple, non-threatening, and easy to do. Other similar organizations have been doing this event for years and, for them, it has grown into their largest fund raiser.

So be on the lookout for a letter from the office inviting you to participate in our first annual Phantom Tea. Your participation will guarantee our success.

Each donor will be specially thanked by the Foundation shortly after their donation is received. Once the campaign is over, the Foundation will provide you with a list of donors so you can personally thank them as well.

So don't delay! Simply drop your order in the mail today. You may also email the national office at click here, or call 1-800-545-3286 to order your tea invitations.
