I have a gift certificate I use for whatever they want to use. They recently had a silent auction. They used the homemade gift certificate as one of the items in the silent auction. I also donated some products as well.

The other thing I did was to have a kitchen show sign up. If they signed up, I donated $20 to the school.

Here is the homemade gift certificate I use. I like the homemade ones cause they have to see me to redeem them.

Help Fight Breast Cancer and Earn Money for your SchoolI made flyers and brought them to a PTO meeting and basically told them what I wanted to do and how it would work, I also did a spreadsheet to show how much money the school would make on each product. I increased the product amount (to cover shipping and increase the % the school would receive). They were very happy to let me do what I wanted to do. I then did a front and back of a flyer with the "HELP WHIP CANCER" product and picked out other product that I thought would sell (nothing sharp...they could become weapons) so that I could help two causes! There are over 900 children in the school and the flyers were handed out 4/25/05 and are due back the first week in May! I'll keep everyone posted on the outcome!

School FlyerI have been searching for a school fundraiser flyer and really couldn't find one to fit my needs. So last night, I was reading the boards and saw Jenn's awesome invitations :) and I loved the backdrop she used! I erased all of the wording and immediately turned it into a fundraiser flyer! I spent all night on it and I am going to present it to the school today! I am very excited about doing a fundraiser! I am in SS 2 and just released from the hospital following thyroid surgery. I will doing the fundraiser a week and a half after but I think it will be good to get moving again(as if I'm not already, chasing after my 3 kids, 4,2,10 months! :p ). I really want to earn my month 2 pkg as well as my stoneware bonus!!! The school let me know about it a week ago but finally told me that they definitely want to do it as of yesterday! So know I am trying to organize this, which will be a kitchen show for everyone! Does anyone have any tips? I was thinking about having a huge demo on potatoes and just show off the tools and let the guests demo the tools themselves! What do you think?
Thanks for your help!

Your fundraiser flyer is awesome. However, I thought the organization can only earn up to 15% of sales + the booking incentive. Where is the other 15% coming from? Is it the commission you will donate if they have 3 shows?

Thanks! Yes, I am donating my 15% commission if I get at least 3 kitchen shows booked. I told them that I will give my commission once those shows are held and closed! They told me today that there are about 400 students that will be participating? I don't know how that is going to happen when we are throwing this together in less than a week! We'll see, it's on monday!
