1.7.1. All organizations that choose to participate in any fundraising activities are
expected to make the appropriate arrangements to cover expenses. Organizations
are encouraged to keep expenses to a minimum. The Overall Committee does
not condone using money from any solicitation method to pay for gas, food,
or any other related costs. Canister solicitation funds used to pay for any trip
or organization expense is strictly prohibited. The goal of each group should
be to maximize its contribution to The Four Diamonds Fund; the more money
raised, the more money will be available to assist the children and their families
who benefit from The Four Diamonds Fund. The members of the organization
should exercise caution to prevent abuses. Any activity or event that is meant to
support THON must remain appropriate for a THON family to witness at all times.
