• Planning session - Set financial goals, fundraising time frame (we recommend at least 2 weeks for a fundraiser)!

• Promote fundraiser through parent letters, posters and community announcements.
• Hold a “kick-off” rally which will educate the kids on the fundraising program, and will build enthusiasm to reach fundraising goals.
• Start the fundraiser!
• Monitor progress and provide encouragement and incentives to keep the kids motivated.
• Once the fundraiser is complete, collect the order forms and money.
• Tally the results.
• There are several options for ordering. Your organization can fax, email, call, or order online.
• Set time and place for student and parents to meet to pick up delivered products and distribute in an orderly fashion.
• Check for damaged products and any mis-orders, contact us to report those findings and schedule shipment for replacements.
