Thanks. Updating original post.

We received a donation from Highlights but a letter was enclosed stating their new donation policies as of April 1 2013. They will be offering fundraising "packages" for $15+ tax. The package is valued at $140 (2- 1year subscriptions, 2 $10 highlights cash coupons for use online, and 8-10 magazines/books). Just an FYI! use www.Highlights.com/fundraising

I sent a request to Wheel of Fortune about a month and a half before last year and it came like a few days before our event. Oriental Trading turned us down last year.

Oriental trading arrived about 6 weeks after requesting donation.
Wheel of Fortune showed up after our event so we held for the next year. I submitted the request about 6 months early.

To those of you who received donations from Orienal Trading and Wheel of Fortune, how long did it take to receive them?

I rec'd my Canvas on Demand gift certificate via email today. My event isn't until September, always grateful for early donations!

I have a good list started on my pinterest listing donation resources with current links. I also list what locations or causes the group donates to if specific criteria is required. Follow my board at: pinterest.com/rickysmom22/fundraising-do...or-non-profits-ptos/

Best of luck everyone!
