Kids Greeting Card Set

Opportunity

Cards For a Cause offers groups the opportunity to sell beautiful and economical greeting cards and select either cash, books, or a combination of both as their reward for their work!
This allows groups to receive cash back when the group needs funds. For groups that are looking for a community service project, this simple system allows them to turn greeting cards into lots of books that can be donated to a program of their choice!

For the fundraiser program, cards are sold for $30 per box; a terrific value of $1 per card. This provides the group raising funds with a larger return on their efforts.

Ways to Use the Program
The number of groups who could benefit from this program are almost limitless! Some examples include cheerleaders raising money for new uniforms, a hospital raising funds for Relay for Life, a youth drum group raising money to cover travel expenses, or a church looking for funds to send kids to summer camp. What group can we partner with in your community with this new fundraising option?

Time Frame:
We have found that keeping your fundraiser open for two weeks works well. You collect the sales flyers/order forms and payment and your Consultant will order the boxes of cards. You can expect to receive delivery of the cards approximately 2 weeks later. Then your group will deliver the cards to those who purchased them – and enjoy the funds earned!

Funds Raised:
Your group will earn more than $13 per box of cards sold,
with no maximum earning potential..
Earning Potential: Sample Group Size: 20 participants.

• If every person sold 20 boxes: 400 boxes sold = $5,400 raised
• If every person sold 15 boxes: 300 boxes sold = $4,050 raised
• If every person sold 10 boxes: 200 boxes sold = $2,600 raised
• If every person sold 5 boxes: 100 boxes sold = $1,300 raised
