UPampered Chefoming Fundraiser With the School!!!!!

[soccermama]

Well, it's almost time for my FUNdraiser! I've gotten some great ideas by going through some old threads and files. I finished my cookbooks & spices flyer, I used an April OOF and added a coupon to the top of it. I'll also be putting stacks of the coupons at the office where parents sign in and out. I'll be challenging the staff to participate in the FUNdraiser and offering a drawing for all the participants. I can't believe how quickly it's come up!!!!! I'm attaching the files I'm sending out..... enjoy and use them, if you want to. A lot of it has just been updated for my needs from things I got here......

Just got back from dropping the kids off at school. I talked to one of the teachers and told her that we would be starting the Pampered Chef FUNdraiser this week. I also told her I was issuing a challenge to the staff to participate. She said "OH! So if I place an order for myself does that count?" OF COURSE!!!!! lol She also has a student teacher until the end of the year, who seemed really interested in PC! She's never been to a show, but she LOVES to cook (I'm thinking she might love this business ) WOW! I need to type up my staff challenge now!!!! lol

That's awesome!

When I student-taught, none of the teachers bought anything from any of the fundraisers. They didn't want to show favoritism, and, really, how much wrapping paper and candy does one person need? But giving a challenge to the teachers to sell it (and buy their own stuff) is a great idea!

WOW! Awesome idea with the coupons! I'm getting ready to start a fundraiser for a few Relay for Life teams and I'm STEALING IT!

LOL Kim! Please do steal it! I adapted some fair coupons I found on here for the booking coupon. There will be stacks of these everywhere!!!!! lol And the few mini catalogs I still have laying around will get dropped off somewhere with FUNdraiser info in them, too... along with flyers with recipes, my name, etc..... I'm going to have a bulletin board made up (with the help of our AWESOME PAC president ) showcasing some PC info, including theme shows like "Extreme Makeover: Dinner Edition" (another thing I found on this site!!!) and Kids in the Kitchen.....

WOW! I was soooo nervous a couple weeks ago and now I'm just so thrilled to be getting this opportunity to find some new business!!!!

benefit fundraiser for a little girlI was asked to coordinate a PC benefit fundraiser for a 13 year old girl in our middle school. I have been working diligently on this and feel like it is my calling to help out this family in need. She was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma (a rare childhood cancer) and it has spread now in her bones in her legs and up her spine, and into her brain area...all in just over a month!! So sad! Our school and community has rallied around this fundraising effort. I put an initial letter into the schools (3 elementary bdgs. and the middle school asking who would like to help out. I have just around 250 slips returned stating they want to help...Now I am assembling the packets Sunday. I got printing all donated. I am attaching the documents I have used so far for this just in case anyone else out there needs something similiar. Packets will go out on Monday and they will have until April 16th. I will keep you posted. Another director I work with just had a successful elementary PTA fundraiser with over 12,000 in sales.
