I am looking at doing a FR for the Drama Dept. at my sons school. Someone had mentioned an easy fund raiser where you sell only gift certificates. Then once submitted, they will receive a catalog from PC with thier gift certificate.

This would be great for this organization.

Does anyone have any printed material (flier ot letter) on how to coach the Host and her team?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Thanks to everyone!

:Hi Alison, that sounds like a great idea for a fundraiser! I haven't personally done a fundraiser with only gift certificates, but I have heard of similar fundraisers with other companies. I think the key to coaching the host and their team would be to make sure they understand the benefits of the fundraiser and how it will help the drama department at their school. Maybe you could provide them with some statistics or success stories from other fundraisers to get them excited and motivated. It would also be helpful to provide them with some tips on how to promote the fundraiser, such as utilizing social media, sending out emails to friends and family, and setting up a table at school events. Good luck with your fundraiser!
