Guide to Fast Fundraising for Sports Ideas by Mark Neal

 

If you want to have a fundraiser for your child's sports team, then you should know that there are a variety of options that are available to you here. Fast fundraising for sports teams is the best idea, as this is the quickest way that you can get the most money, and so whether you are actually in a rush to get money for the team or not you will definitely want to seriously consider this option.
Reasons to Have a Fast Fundraising for Sports Event
There are many different reasons as to why a fast fundraising for sports event would be held, for instance if the team needed new uniforms or new equipment. School teams are especially usually in need, because schools barely have the funding to get class equipment, let alone sporting goods for their school teams.
Ideas for Your Fast Fundraising for Sports Event
When it comes to getting started on your fast fundraising for sports event, the first and most important thing that you are going to have to decide on is what product you are going to sell with the fundraiser; there are plenty of ideas to choose from. Lollipops are one of the more popular options, as there are tons of different flavors and they are also incredibly inexpensive and so therefore they sell quite well to the general public.
Cookie dough is another infamous fundraising item and again there is a lot of variety to choose from and it is cost effective. There are plenty of other options as well, such as popcorn, candy canes, chocolate, and coffee, for instance.
The best idea is to determine what your major audience is going to be, for instance if you think that you are going to be selling mostly to adults (which is the smartest idea because they will be the ones with the most money), then you are going to want to stick more with things such as coffee and cookie dough, because it is the adults who are more likely to buy these sorts of products.

Hollister to Sponsor Red Cross Blood Drive

Boston Staffing Firm Hollister to Sponsor Red Cross Blood Drive and Haiti Fundraiser by Gillian Seely

 

Feb 17, 2010 - BOSTON, Massachusetts --Boston-based staffing agency Hollister will partner with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive on Thursday, February 18 at 75 State Street, and is holding an ongoing fundraiser for victims of the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.

The majority of blood collected from the drive will be distributed throughout Massachusetts. Some units will be sent to Haiti as emergency circumstances have led to increased demand in the region. Cash donations will be sent to The Haiti Relief & Development Fund, a Red Cross initiative dedicated to aiding the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Donations will then be put toward relief supplies and financial resources for victims and deploying volunteers.
"We're thrilled to have local companies show such an interest in giving blood, and do their part to help those in need," said Kaity Lawler, a spokeswoman for the Red Cross of Massachusetts. "It really speaks volumes about the generous spirit of our local companies and residents, and hopefully will inspire other companies to look into blood drives and fundraisers as options for corporate volunteerism."
Hollister partnered with the Red Cross for the first time in a blood drive a year ago, and plans to continue in future years. Organized by Hollister's Philanthropy Committee, the drive is one of many initiatives the staffing firm has undertaken in an effort to inspire local corporate social responsibility, and to stay true to the values of the company. In December the staffing firm held a toy-drive and fundraiser for Christopher's Haven, a nonprofit dedicated to housing children who travel long distances to undergo radiation therapy at Massachusetts General Hospital.
"Giving back to the community and to those in need is an integral part of our company's vision," said Hollister. "We saw how enthusiastically people responded when we organized the drive a year ago. Now, particularly with the heartbreaking devastation in Haiti and the continued needs of the Red Cross here in Massachusetts, we are hoping for an even greater turnout, and we are really striving to foster a spirit of giving, and of borderless generosity."
