Hello everyone, i'm home today so I decided to pick up the phone..Well, I GOT A VERY POSITIVE YES to do a fundraiser with a daycare center!!What all should I send her in the information packet. I don't want this fundraiser to turn out like my first one..{total flop} Anyway, all advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Congratulations! That's great!

I'm attaching two letters - one was informational for someone considering a fundraiser and the other was addressed to the parents participating in the fundraiser. Tweak it to fit your needs. Actually, I think I got both from here! I did 2 fundraisers last year - they were just ok...nothing spectacular. One was $800 and the other was $1250. I actually have another one at the end of this month and one in March. We'll see how they go!

Okay, these are great but I have a question...

The checks are always made out to the school and not to me? How do I order the products then?

I had the parents make out the checks to the school to avoid having to deal with bounced checks. THEN I had the school make out a check for the total amount to me.

Worked out well because we had one or two bounced checks....then I didn't have to pay the fee and I didn't have to deal with trying to get money from the parents!

Ooops, I just realized I attached the wrong flyer. Well, I meant to attach a different one....this one is the letter to the director of the school who was running the fundraiser to give her more info on what a PC fundraiser is. (BEFORE she said YES!)
