EASY, HEALTHY and PROFITABLE FUNDRAISER

RightResponse‘s  exclusive Refer-a-Friend program was a pitch-perfect way for the Youth Choir of Central Oregon (YCCO) to raise thousands of dollars – before they sold a single first aid kit!

In its 22nd year, the choir, which features students in grade 1 through high school, had a long history of fundraising. While it was interested in selling first aid kits, it was more intrigued by making money through referrals.

YCCO began sharing its Refer-a-Friend number with other choirs at competitions. As the reward checks started rolling in, the choir reached out to local teams, schools and other groups.

When a Specialist advised they didn’t have to stay local for referrals, parents and choir members called friends and family around the country with the referral number.

Within a few months, the choir earned more than $4,000 in referral rewards! Their referrals included choirs, schools, teams and 4-H groups from as far away as Indiana and Minnesota.

Six months later and with $4,000 in the bank, the choir finally began selling first aid kits.

Razzle Dazzle offers instruction and training for elementary and middle school cheerleaders. The group needed a fundraiser to help teams pay for uniforms and fees to participate in cheeleading competitions.

Inspired by RightResponse focus on health, Razzle Dazzle did its first fundraiser with 42 cheerleaders in February 2011 and recorded sales of $5,550.

The group was so excited with the results that they did a second fundraiser five months later and the 43 cheerleaders who participated booked $7,391 in sales.

With profits up to 50% on sales, Razzle Dazzle earned more than $6,000 in its two fundraisers. The cheerleaders were so pleased with the success, a third RightResponse fundraiser is polanned for next cheerleading season!

Taylor Tavares was determined. Her dream was to travel to Chicago for a choir performance. But the reality was the trip was expensive and she thought there was no way to go.

When she learned about RightResponse, Taylor discovered her dream could come true.

She signed up as an individual fundraiser and immediately began to sell. In the first weekend alone, she sold $980 worth of first aid kits.

As Christmas season approached, Taylor promoted the kits as great gift ideas and pushed her sales higher. Within a few months, Taylor had sold more than $4,000 in first aid kits, meeting her goal of raising $2,075 for her trip. Her mom, Lisa, was impressed with Taylor – and with RightResponse.

“This fundraiser is the only reason Taylor can go on her trip,” said Lisa.

Both Taylor and her mom are encouraging other groups in the community to use RightResponse.

“It’s a wonderful way to raise money,”said Lisa.

“And with Refer-a-Friend, I can make even more,” Taylor added.
