A Fundraiser Right Under Our Noses

Posted in

School Supply Lists go to parents at most schools. Parents get the list and go to various stores to get the needed items. The money parents are paying goes to the retail stores, and in many cases that is the end of the story. Schools rarely benefit other than that the students have the items needed to do their schoolwork.

The proposed fundraiser I have in mind would:

Empower parents
Provide additional monies to schools every year
Provide savings opportunities for parents in three ways
Additional opportunities to reap benefits businesses currently get from manufacturers today
The ability to save money on items based on volume buying, rather than being at the mercy of retail prices constantly going up
Reduce school dependence on government funds

The analysis I have done shows the district my son is in with a total of 9 schools at a 70% participation rate at approximately $216,700.00.

If interested, please reply and I will be happy to let you know more.

Note here: I am NOT a salesrep for a specific company. I am an advocate who has experience in the industry I am talking about, and I know what it takes to make this happen. I am passionately committed to affecting a change in how we provide for our childrens education.
