I have been searching and searching for an interest letter for fundraisers.

I have a HUGE contact with the lady in charge of the fundraisers for the school district out here, and I just don't know what to send her to choose us instead of cookies (AGAIN! I swear if I see one more cookie fundraiser I will puke).

Might anyone be able to help me???:confused: :confused: :confused:
 
HO has a flyer for fundraisers, too. Show her in the CN how people have obscene fundraisers and help her see how they could, too - 100 kids each collect $100 in orders = $10,000 in sales=$1,500 for them PLUS booking money!
