• Advertising in FIRST’s quarterly newsletter, Ichthyosis Focus

• FIRST requires all individuals or organizations wishing to host a fundraising event to benefit the Foundation complete the Third Party Fundraising Proposal prior to the event.
• FIRST will notify the applicant of the status of the fundraising event within seven days of receipt.
• FIRST requires all proceeds and a final income/expense report be submitted to the Foundation office within thirty days following the event.
• Third parties are prohibited from setting up a separate bank account in the Foundation’s name in conjunction with the fundraising event.
