Q: How does Crosby's calendar year run?
A: Our Community Commitment calendar runs January to December. Each calendar year marks a new beginning for organizations to raise funds with us.
Q: Can we participate for less than three weeks?
A: Yes. Your organization may participate for one, two or all three weeks. We recommend using the full three weeks to raise as many funds as possible.
A: Checks are issued 21 days from the last day of your week.
Q: What kind of advertising of our week can our organization do?
A: Your organization may advertise on the radio, newspaper, community bulletin, your website, flyers at local libraries, churches and schools. Absolutely no solicitation of supporters is allowed on Crosby's property. Failure to abide by this will result in forfeiting of year.
Q: What is the mailing address for applications?
Crosby's Community
Involvement Department

Q: Any recommendations for choosing weeks?
A: The most successful weeks that we have seen involve organizations that choose weeks following an existing event. If your organization has a fundraising dinner or concert event, choose to have one of your Community Commitment weeks to begin the following Sunday. This will allow your organization to distribute vouchers during the event, as well as to motivate supporters to participate.
