Help Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse Heal

by joining The Younique Foundation’s
Presenters-Only fundraising contest.

The support that Younique’s family of Presenters continually extends to The Younique Foundation means so much to us. Now, it’s our chance to give something back.

Join our Help Her Heal fundraising contest to help us bring healing services to as many survivors as possible, and for a chance to win a trip to The Creekside Estate in the serene mountains of Utah!

This year, up to FOUR Presenters will win the grand prize of:

  • An overnight stay at The Creekside Estate, the private residence where The Haven Retreat takes place.
  • A roundtrip flight to Utah.
  • A day of pampering and education provided by our staff.
  • A visit to the headquarters of Younique Products and The Younique Foundation.
  • A chance to meet and mingle with Shelaine Maxfield and other foundation executives.
  • A staycation package worth $500!

And, the prizes for the top 10 are more exciting than ever this year!

Up to four Presenters who finish in third and fourth places will receive a 30-minute coaching call with either Ben Riley, Chief Global Safe Officer, or Marissa Lore, Director of US Field Sales for Younique.

Up to twelve Presenters who finish in the top 10 will receive a gorgeous framed poster print designed exclusively for this contest, as well as a branded yoga jacket from our store.

And, all Presenters whose fundraisers generate three or more unique donors will receive a $15 gift card to The Younique Foundation’s store!

How To Win

There are four amazing grand prizes up for grabs! We will award grand prizes to the top two Presenters whose fundraisers generate the highest number of unique donors.

And, to reward all the hard work so many of you do, this year we will also award grand prizes to the top two Presenters whose fundraisers generate the highest dollar amount.

Runners-up prizes will be awarded to the eight Presenters whose fundraisers finish in the top 10 in each category. Up to 16 prizes* will be awarded to Presenters who finish in the top 10.

Tips for Hosting a Successful Fundraiser

01
Add Your "Why" to the Fundraiser
The most important thing you can include in your fundraiser’s info section is why you are fundraising. Write a few heartfelt sentences to let your family and friends know why The Younique Foundation matters to you. This will increase their likelihood of donating to your fundraiser.
02
Get the Ball Rolling
Nobody likes to be the first one to the party, which is why it’s a good idea to make the first contribution to your own fundraiser. Doing so will help get your fundraiser off to a strong start and will also make others more likely to get involved.
03
Share With Your Closest Contacts First
Instead of sharing your fundraiser with your entire Facebook friend list, it’s best to start by sending a message to your closest friends and family members. These people are the most likely to donate to your fundraiser, so try sending a quick personal message to everyone in your inner circle to build early momentum.
04
Engage Your Social Media Audience
Once you’ve sent your first batch of messages, it’s time to turn to the rest of your social media audience. Post your fundraiser on your Facebook timeline, then send a personal message to as many contacts as you feel comfortable (co-workers, friends of friends, distant relatives, etc.) to spread the word.
05
Publicly Thank Your Donors
One of the best strategies to use on Facebook is tagging and thanking people who have already donated to your fundraiser. This spreads your message further and lets the people you are asking know that others are already supporting you.
06
Continue Thanking and Updating Social Media
As more of your friends and followers get behind you, keep thanking them on social media and make sure you continue to share progress updates towards your goal.

Fundraising can be intimidating, but all it takes is a little bit of creativity and persistence to be successful. No matter what, keep in mind that your efforts will make a huge difference for The Younique Foundation! We are so grateful for you!

Graphics for You to Share with Your Fundraiser

We know how busy Presenters are, so we’re providing a little extra help this year! We’ve created the following graphics specifically to help Presenters spread the word about their fundraisers and the survivors they are helping.

We encourage and recommend using these graphics on your fundraiser page, on your social media accounts, or in text or email messages you send. Be sure to tag us @youniquefounation so we can see and support your post!

Who You’re Helping

1 in 4 women is a survivor of child sexual abuse—that’s an estimated 41.5 million women in the United States alone who endured the trauma of sexual abuse at a young age. Survivors often carry the weight of that trauma with them for years, and many of them develop physical and mental health challenges as a result.

We invite you to join The Younique Foundation’s community of supporters who believe that we can all help survivors heal. By joining this contest and starting a fundraiser, you can help these women find the resources they need. You can show survivors that they’re not alone and reaffirm that hope and healing are possible.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from your fundraiser will go toward providing healing services for survivors.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Younique Foundation strives for fairness in our fundraising contests. In order to support a positive experience for all contest participants, the following actions have been prohibited and could disqualify a participant from winning:

  • Naming the fundraiser anything other than Help Her Heal 2020 (using emojis at the end of the fundraiser title is okay).
  • Paying for donations or incentivizing donors to contribute to your fundraiser.
There is no deadline for creating your fundraiser. However, we do not recommend creating your fundraiser prior to 12:01 a.m. on September 14, 2020 because donations made prior to September 14 will not count toward contest rankings. Only donations made between September 14 and October 19, 2020, will count for this contest.
If someone donates to your fundraiser after 11:59 p.m. PDT on October 19, 2020, their donation will not count toward the contest rankings.
Only fundraisers with the name “Help Her Heal 2020” will be considered for the contest. Including emojis in the fundraiser title is allowed, but only at the end of the title.

Yes, absolutely! We encourage you to share your fundraiser with other Presenters, including members of your team.
Each individual donation will count toward the final dollar amount of your fundraiser and will be accounted for when determining which fundraisers generated the highest dollar amount.

However, donors who donate multiple times will not count multiple times toward the final donor count of your fundraiser. This portion of the competition is about rewarding the fundraisers with the highest the number of unique donors, not the number of unique donations. So, even if the same person donates multiple times, they will be counted as one donor.

The staycation packages includes 1-2 nights in a hotel in your area, as well as a gift card to a local restaurant of your choice. The value of this prize is $500.

Because the contest winners may not be able to redeem their trips to The Haven Retreat until the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we wanted to reward you with something now. We will coordinate with staycation packages the winners after the contest ends.

Contest participants who finish in the top 10 in both categories will be awarded one (1) prize. The prize they will be awarded will be the higher value of the two prizes.

Prizes waived in this manner will not be re-awarded to participants whose fundraisers placed outside of the top 10 in either category.

The last day of the contest will be October 19, 2020. Winners will be contacted by the end of the day October 26, 2020.
We will post updates with the names, donor counts, and dollar amounts of the leading fundraisers every Monday to The Younique Foundation’s POP Facebook group. We will also post the top 10 fundraisers at the conclusion of the contest. We will not post the results beyond the top 10.
