Fundraising

Our church youth group is looking into doing a fundraiser. I have seen the popular discount cards where we would secure sponsors for a ''buy one get one free'' deal and an outside company would make up a card with our youth information and the sponsors deal. Some cards have logo's, some don't. My question is this, If I secure the sponsors agreement can I then make up my own printed cards on my personal computer eliminating the outside company? Thank you

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then you are instructed to stop here, and do not read any further.

If you are careful not to copy any of the information, formats, styles, or other items that may have been shared by the "outside company" you may be able to print this card on your own. You must be sure that all ideas are your own and that no part of the card is copied from the outside company's materials which were left with you or anyone else as a sample. Remember to research and applicable trademarks or copyrights.

I strongly suggest that you obtain legal counsel to work with you on this matter.
