Avon Calling.... Fundraising Can be FUN and Products You Can Use

A product your neighbor will support

Many schools (private and public) will have our kids bring home those fundraisers that we cringe over.  But what about a fundraiser with products you can actually benefit from?  Avon has been part of many families for many years and many don't realize they have fundraisers!

Earn up to 40% profit with an Avon fundraiser. Request information now from an authorized Avon Rep. She will provide everything you need to get you started with your Avon fundraiser. Receive professional service from an experienced fundraising manager.

Aren't we tired of the candy, expensive wrapping paper (which we can now get at the dollar stores), and other stuff we simply have no use for?

Sue Scheff: Growums - Fundraising made easy

After attending the National PTA Convention in Memphis, TN, I was introduced to many fundraising ideas!  One of them that was new to me and based in West Palm Beach, FL is Growums!  What a great way to introduce your child to gardening and start to learn about healthy eating.


It’s time to take a fresh approach to fundraising – in an easy way that benefits your organization, our planet and the lives of our children. 

Growums™ garden kits are a fun, simple learning tool that teaches children and adults alike the joys and benefits of growing their own food. The results bring more than just entertainment and a tasty harvest.
It all starts with the Growums garden kit, containing everything a child needs to grow a real garden – whether it’s in the back yard or grown in containers on a patio or balcony. Each kit contains its own cast of “characters,” depending on what type of garden is being grown. Kids have five garden choices: Pizza, Taco, Ratatouille, Salad and Herb.

How Growums Helps Your Cause

As a fundraiser, Growums is a wonderful opportunity for your organization. Each Growums garden kit is sold for $10. For every kit sold, your organization receives a generous portion. In addition, $1 will be donated to help fight world hunger. A good goal for your group might be for each child to sell at least 15 kits.

This fresh approach to fundraising is really more than a fun and simple way to help your cause. It’s an amazing opportunity to encourage healthier children, a greener environment and stronger families – one character at a time

Sue Scheff: Right Response - A Fundraiser With Practical Products

The RightResponse fundraising program was developed by First Aid Only as a healthy alternative to old-fashioned candy and junk food fundraisers. For more than 20 years, First Aid Only has been committed to the health and wellbeing of our communities. By offering the RightResponse fundraising program:

• We help non-profits raise money
• We help homes and workplaces stay safe
• We help build healthier communities
• We create and support American jobs

Forget about the cookies, wrapping papers, nuts, pretzels - sell items that can actually be useful and make tremendous gift ideas.  After seeing these products, I am convinced if my kids sold these rather than the wrapping paper (no offense to the organization selling the pricey paper), this would have gone a whole lot further.

Sue Scheff: Pencil Bugs

What is a Pencil Bug?

A Pencil Bug at the end of your pencil will make homework, drawing, grading papers or even doing office work just a little more fun. No two will ever be exactly the same because they're individually handmade and as unique as we are.


Take the time to read a complete interview on this 14 year-old entrepeneur, Jason O'Neill, who created Pencil Bugs and has expanded in many more directions.  He also participates in philanthropy at his young age, and has fundraisers to help needy children.  Read more here.  You will also see his TV Interview and Radio spot, as well as lots of pictures!
