I'm on my daughter's pre-school fund raising committee and it's coming time to start raising money for the school's end of year program, graduation, and party. Mamasource is such a great resource of caring involved moms and I am hoping some of you may be able to help me out with sharing any successful fund raising efforts that you have seen or been a part of.
Blessings to you all.

Hi N.,

I recently joined the Pampered Chef Team because of the wonderful products they have! They make cooking a lot easier, and have products that will save you time and energy in the kitchen!

I wanted to tell you about the great Fundraising opportunities they offer. It works like this:

The interested group can either use the catalogs to sell the products or the group can have a large party and showcase the products and get orders. Everything that is sold benefits the group by providing a 20% cash donation. Here is some math so you can get an idea of what your efforts would earn:

100 students sell $50 each (approx 7 orders) = $750 profit
100 students sell $25 each (approx 3 orders) = $375 profit
100 students sell $10 each (approx 1 order) = $ 150 profit

Charity Fundraisers are great in that not only are people donating to a good cause, they are getting great products in return!

Doing a Fundraising project with the Pampered Chef is easy in that all you have to do is show people the catalog and collect outside orders. I will help every step of the way.

If you would like more information, I'd like to talk with you!

I can be contacted thru Mamasource or directly at ###-###-####.

Thanks!

I saw this site on tv http://www.go-green-fundraising.com/ and thought they had some interesting ideas.

But also check out http://www.chicobag.com/t-fundraising.aspx These are by far my favorite shopping bags. I have the original and the vita (which is bigger) they both are great and come in fabulous colors. I have bought mine through co-ops at about $2.40 each -- but they offer fundraising packages with a minimum of 50% profits.

Our preschool did fundraising through Burgerville-same idea as Chevy's and it was quite successful! BTW, I'm curious as to what you do for a living from home as I have been contemplating that avenue.

Thx and good luck!

Our school did a fundraiser with Chevys Fresh Mex. They donated 25% back to our school. The location we used was in Clackamas. We were able to eat there anytime during the day we chose, including take out orders as well all was donated back to us. Go to there website www.chevys.com. It explains how to get started. I found it easy and the manager was very heplful. We were able to raise $975.00 in one day!
Good luck
