Fundraising Ideas #1 and #2

If you're new to this blog, welcome and feel free to say hello!

Last week, I had the privilege of meeting with two New Jersey Light the Night representatives and got some fantastic ideas for fundraising this year. In one month, my team raised over $8,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and I hope we will be able to raise just as much--or more--since I am beginning to fund-raise much earlier this year.

I've been posting on Facebook in a new Team Gillybean group I created a couple weeks ago. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Team-Gillybean/1471477149746725?ref=hl

My first ideas for fundraising:

Yankee Candle fundraising is new to me, but Team Gillybean/LLS will get 40% of the profit! That is a great deal! I have 10 seller packets, if you would like to help sell IN PERSON, otherwise, please use the link http://tiny.cc/teamgillybeancandles and don't forget to use our 
GROUP NUMBER: 99006317.
In-person fundraising ends April 14th, but it looks like online will continue through July.

Deadlines: Order by March 21st for Easter and April 11th for Mother's Day



And for my fundraising idea #3: Would anyone buy Jelly Belly jelly beans for Easter from me? I am thinking of ordering boxes of 10 flavors each, sell for $10 a box. If there is enough interest, I will do it! 

Thanks for your support!

  1. Wow! You really thought things through with regard to the fundraising. The ideas look well planned and detailed. I'm sure it would be a spectacular success, once you get to launch one or both of them. I guess, it also helps if you have a great advocacy, like yours. More power to you and your projects!
