Student and Community Fundraising Programs

We are happy to support community and student fundraising efforts in support of raising awareness for depression and suicide prevention. We can provide personalized products, brochures and marketing cards to support this special effort. A student, a group of students or a community organization can use our products and collateral in an effort to create awareness and support for local charitable organizations. This is also a great way to develop a college tuition fund for your school or in the name of a specific person.

Friends, family and relatives are always happy to help raise money for their school or community programs. Parents are a great source to help by sending emails to associates, family and friends to help fundraising efforts. You can plan a kick-off at your school with approval and support from your school administration or at a local facility. We can help create a program specially designed to get people involved and generate excitement about their program. We can help you plan a great kick-off, what to say and identify critical tasks. Perhaps provide a keynote speaker or a script to assist in their efforts.

It is also a great idea to offer prizes or recognition for top fundraising efforts. Local merchants and businesses are also often willing to support your efforts and we have great ideas to help you along this path. We will also provide a spot on our web-site where you can post your information as part of our planning package.

Important Fundraising Tips to Consider:

• Secure a place or places to set up this fundraising desk. School events, grocery stores, sporting events, restaurants, health clubs and even at the school store are great locations.
• Holidays and exams are generally not the best times for fundraising drives. However, we understand there are certainly times when this is unavoidable.
• Students should ask their parents and other parents and teachers to help with the fundraiser. The more people that help the better the fundraiser will be.
• Forming a volunteer committee to help with promotions/communications, tallying and distributing orders is critical to making your fundraiser successful.
• Plan on a minimum 60-day lead time to increase your chances for a successful fundraiser.

If the tips above seem like they can be easily accomplished, you are off to a great start for planing a successful event.
