We used Club's Choice as a fundraiser. There was a 40% profit. They weren't to bad to deal with, everything came presorted in boxes with the kid's names etc... The rep from the company stayed and helped us unload, and hand out boxes, as well as help parents load up their cars. The few problems we had they solved quickly. Very good service. The products aren't to bad, the prices are about what you can expect from any funraiser... We also held are carnival this fall and on a Saturday insted of a Friday in spring, it went pretty decent as well...
We do absolutely no fundraisers...that's part of our appeal...that we sell nothing...
So far we're experiencing increases every year, and we're bringing in so much money we don't need additional fundraisers. Being in Michigan, if times get any tougher, that may not sustain itself...we may, at some point, have to re-work our philosophy...but for now, it's working!

Also We sold beach towells last May.
We used Uncle Jerry Tee's
They were GREAT!!!! The beach towells were of very high quailty. and I believe we brought in $4,000. Uncle Jerry Tees had the order packaged for each teacher and then student name. It was so EASY. Then they sent us a thank-you package that had some beachtowels, t-shirst and other items that we are going to use for our carnival for raffles.
Our School sells candy bars annually.
With the new wellness initatives going into place our PTO worried about losing the candy bars the truth is we would never be able to come close to what we make with the candy bars. Our Elementary school with a total of 520 kids sells over $24,000, in three weeks. This means that we make 50% ($12,000). The company that we go thru is Katherine Beich. Our representative was great, and very supportive.
