As a child I was in many fundraisers. I can think back during baseball and soccer and without doubt was in more than I can even remember. The obvious ones were selling raffle tickets for prizes, selling candy bars for uniform money, and one I remember doing which I think was for some kind of medical foundation to do heart research. The idea was to be sponsored for how many laps I could run around the track at the school on a Saturday morning. Remembering back people sponsored me .05 cents to .25 cents and I did 20 laps that day. Those 20 laps almost killed me at 7 years old!
Today we are proud to announce that this year we will be working in conjunction with Fundraisinggreen.com. and be listed as a participating company in their environmental coupon book called “My Green Spark.” Fundraisinggreen.com is the environmental version of the ever popular “entertainment” book that sells in the hundreds of thousands if not millions nationwide. The topic is clear. The “my Green Spark” book is a coupon book similar to the entertainment book but with a catch. The book only sells products that are green friendly and or have some sort of environmental aspect about them.
“We have decided to offer 10% off to anyone who decides to do a custom bag order with us” says Doug Lober, President. “I don’t know if we will see any orders from us having a coupon inside but its still nice that we were asked to participate.”
We are eager to find a school or group that wants to do a reusable grocery bag fundraisers. The money is definitely there says Lober. Its all a matter of who is ready to give it a shot!
Sample fundraiser profits:
“Save the snails” foundation
100 members selling a one color imprinted grocery bag
Each member sells 50 bags @ $4 each = $200 (collected per member
100 members X 50 bags = 5000 bags
5000 bags X 4 each = $20,000 collected
5000 bags @ $1.50 each = $7500 (bag cost)
$20,000 collected – $7500 bag cost = $12500 profit!
