Healthy Fundraising is a concept that has been gaining ground in the United States for the past few years. The main stimulant behind healthy fundraising has been the rising health concerns about the young population in the country. In recent times, the number of cases of obesity and juvenile Type-II diabetes has taken a jump. The main reason for this has been a quantum change in lifestyle in the country. Nowadays, children hardly exercise and consume large amounts of unhealthy and fatty food. Hence, traditional methods such as a chocolate fundraiser, which sells high calorie chocolate based snacks, is fast going out of fashion. In their place, a healthier alternative is gaining prominence. Here are the most common queries you may have about healthy fundraisers.
How do I go about organizing a healthy fundraiser?
It’s absolutely simple. A healthy fundraiser can be arranged just like your conventional school fundraiser. Since it is only the food items that are different and not the way in which the fundraiser is organized, the learning curve is not steep at all.
Does it cost more to organize healthy fundraising?
Not at all! In fact, your investments will be far lower in case of a healthy fundraiser. This is because you will not have to pay anything for the food items before the fundraiser is held.
How do I pay for the snacks then?
It is extremely convenient to get healthy fundraising snacks. You just order them online and they will be delivered to your school or group without any charge. Once you sell the snacks during the fundraiser, you will then send a check to pay for the snacks within 21 days. The rest you get to keep for your purpose
How are the snacks arranged and sent to me?
It is all extremely simple. An assortment of healthy snacks are packed, sorted and organized into snack boxes. These boxes vary by price and will be the actual item sold at your fundraiser. These boxes are shipped to your doorstep in time for your fundraiser.
We know kids love chocolate. But will they love these snacks?
All of the healthy fundraising snacks, such as the Reduced fat Cheeze-its and Rice Krispies Treats and different Cereal Bars, are manufactured with children in mind. They do not sacrifice taste for health at all. In fact, not only will the kids eat these snacks, they will simply love them!
How healthy are the snacks?
All of the snacks featured in the snack boxes conform to the strictest health norms, such as California SB-12. All of them contain less than 35% of their calories from fats, less than 35% from sugar, and less than 10% from saturated fats.
Okay. I will go for healthy fundraising. Where do I start?
Start as you would start any normal fundraiser. Just order the snacks by logging on to the Internet and you are all set to go. Good luck!
