2. Top Fundraiser Rewards
We offer more incentive programs than most school fundraising companies.
Traditional Prizes: Check out the latest in prizes, toys, gadgets, and games. Prizes come presorted inside each seller's box.
Big Event Prize Programs: A fundraising exclusive! Instead of prizes, offer your sellers an exciting inflatable party or fun, educational show to encourage raising funds! These unique programs have been proven to improve sales by up to 300%.
Sportswear & Cash Prize Programs: Offer participants the chance to win personalized sportswear with your group's name and colors. But cold, hard cash is the ultimate motivator for improving sales and raising money in a fundraising event.

We’ll also send you links to various pages on our website that will provide simple and effective strategies that you can easily incorporate into your fundraising events.

School Fundraising Guidebook: This booklet explains everything you need to know about your fundraiser in a logical and chronological format. It’s like having an adviser at your side anytime you need one.

Each group receives online access to whichever prize program they choose. All you need to do is introduce your fundraiser in the beginning and then wrap it up at the end. Our video does the rest.

4. Precise Processing & Shipping
When processing orders, achieving a 99.6% accuracy rate is no accident. Our ultimate goal is to make your fundraising efforts, including delivery and distribution simple and easy.
Here's how it happens:
Order Data-Entered: Each order form is entered into our system by trained data-entry specialists.
Reports Generated: Once the order forms are processed, various sales reports are generated. You’ll be able to see who your top sellers are, what percent of students participated, which products sold better than others, and much more.
Order Packed: Each order is packed and inspected for accuracy before sealing. Inside every box is the original order form, so sellers will know who gets what. Prizes also come inside each box.
Delivery Date Scheduled: Once your order is ready to ship, we'll contact you to set up your delivery date. Once confirmed, we’ll make the necessary arrangements. After your order ships, you'll receive tracking and post-delivery information.
