Having Easy and Simple Fundraising Event
We often organize fundraising in order to be able to collect some amount of money for specific purpose. School Fundraising is the kind of fundraising that is often to be organized since there are lots of activities that can’t be covered by schools financial budget alone. However, holding a fundraiser mean you have to think of an idea on what you want to sell, how to sell it, calculating the cost and profit and many more. This could take lots of your time as well as energy too. Actually there is an easier way to organize a fundraising event.
Instead of making your own cookies, chocolates, candies or buying products that can be sold; you could easily sell ecoupon instead. You can organize cookie dough fundraiser without actually making cookie dough on your own. You only need to sell the coupon where your customer could change it with the real cookies afterward. Once all of your cookies coupons are sold, you can place your order and your cookies will be delivered to each of your customers to their homes, offices or other place they want.

As I was reading the wonderful articles on your web site, I thought to myself, If only this had been available for me when I was in school. I wonder if my life would have turned our differently? I wonder if my life would have been easier?
Yes, my parents loved me and provided for me, but somewhere along the line I missed the boat. My parents always looked at my report card, but there wasn’t some kind of report card to see if I was coping with life or even knew what to do in certain situations.
Since I was the youngest of three girls and my parents were not into sports, I couldn’t even throw or catch a ball. At school, two good players were chosen by the teacher as team leaders. They, in turn, would then “pick” their team. One team leader would call out a name and then the other team leader would call out another name until everyone was on a team. I was always the very last one to be chosen. I wish I would have know how to deal with that. And how not to feel bad the rest of the day and dread the next day when the same thing would take place.
