Chocolate fundraising

Hey. How are the fundraising ideas coming along? Selling chocolates sounds like a pretty good idea - you get$24 per box that you sell. If each person on the teams sells 2 boxes, that's almost $1000 raised. And I reckon that some could sell more than a couple of boxes!

Here are a few sites:
Mars/Maltesers/M+Ms etc (sell at $4 per big packet, but only 18 packets per box): http://www.marsfundraising.com.au/prod_prof/products_profit.aspx
Cadbury (choice of $1,2,3 per packet, with 48, 24 or 20 per box): http://www.fundraising.com.au/ordering.aspx?IDDataTreeMenu=81&parent_0=81

The key is finding a market to sell them to. Consider:
  • your work tearoom
  • university hangouts/lunchplaces
  • your parents' workplace
  • near movie theatres (or if you hear that a bunch from church are going to the movies, or having a gathering)
  • asking others in your small group to help sell some at their work
  • anywhere there is a waiting room
  • at the train station
  • make an outing to the City to Surf on Aug 11 (City or Bondi Beach)
  • near footy stadiums on weekends

Let your imagination go wild! We'll leave it for Matt and Sam plus the Taiwan team to decide what's best. My preference? Yummy big boxes of Maltesers!

Hey guys!

There's heaps of stuff we can do for fund-raising (oh btw Matt and I swapped roles).

We can sell wristbands - like the make poverty history ones, button badges, pens, mugs, lanyards, prayer magnets, mouse mats. The list is endless!

We can even have a Kyrgyz dinner! It's so cool...I found some Kyrgyz recipes on the net!
