From The Editor

Hi [[name]].

Well, it's officially Fall. That means football, cheerleading, spirit squads, flag corps, band and all sorts of school booster clubs and student groups shining before the public eye.

It's a time when groups all across the country show their "school spirit" too. Many groups make promoting their school spirit synonymous with raising money for their group.

Of course, without those needed funds to pick up the tab for uniforms, trips and special projects, the school spirit would definitely be lacking.

So when choosing a fundraiser this fall for your school group, make sure that it includes giving your school some good PR (or school spirit) in the community too. We've talked about the silicone wristbands in the last issue as a way to bring great attention to your efforts and raise money.

I will pass on to you some strategies from groups that are raising awareness, school spirit and raising some fantastic funds all at the same time.

Go get some school spirit today.

Get Your Name On A Discount Card

Gas Discount Cards


What's all of the buzz about around town. I believe it must be the price of gasoline constantly going up. We all need a gas discount card to help lower the price we're paying at the pump.

The Gas Discount Card is a WIN-WIN situation for both the Cardholder and Merchant. And your group will benefit immensely. Cardholders get guaranteed discounts on gas (usually 5-7 cents per gallon). Merchants get new gas customers & increased sales of items such as cold drinks, coffee, food items, etc..

We do all the leg work for you. We print no cards UNTIL we have the authorization of participating local merchants - IN WRITING! None of the old "printing the card & then hoping merchants will honor the cards" routine.

Cards Sell for $10, your organization earns $5 or more per card. The more you order upfront, the more you will receive free cards as a bonus. You also pay nothing until we secure the merchant and we're ready to print your cards.

To get started, print the Gas Discount Card Agreement and fax back to 888-996-3863. This will alert us that you are serious about this fundraiser and we will begin lining up a convenience store chain that will allow your group to be on the card with them.

Pump some funds into your group with the Gas Discount Card today.

Marketing Silicone Wristbands

Silicone Wristbands Are Taking The World By Storm

Let's talk about the silicone wristbands that we discussed during the last newsletter.

Everywhere you go, you can see people supporting their favority charity or cause with silicone wristbands. The key in promoting your group is how to do it while raising funds at the same time.

First, always ask for a donation when giving someone a wristband. Many people want to make a donation and will most likely approach you when they see that you are offering wristbands.

One church group recently told me how they were raising funds in their community for a young person with cancer. The wristbands cost them $1.00 each, but they asked for a donation of at least $5.00 or more. By asking for a donation instead of "selling" them, they frequently received $5, $10, $20 or more per donor. What's more, everyone around town was wearing them, even 80 year old women. This attracted even more attention for their cause and they raised thousands more.

A school group will likely "sell" the wristbands as a school spirit fundraiser. Schools usually have two school colors and will order two different wristband colors with their school name or short phrase printed on it. School groups will sell one wristband for $3 or two for $5.

Students and supporters will want both school colors so the $5 combination sells quickly. They raise thousands of dollars even with a small wristband order. One recent school customer told us that they sold out in 2 days and many of their supporters were disappointed that they did not get to buy theirs. Needless to say, they placed another order for more.

These are just a few ways to promote your charity or school spirit with silicone wristbands. They make it easy to promote your group and raise funds too.
