Fundraiser Ideas for your Local School, Community Event or Organization


We've been giving a lot of thought lately to ways that we could help out the local schools, organizations and community events.  Recently I asked around about doughnut sales.  You see, when I lived here (in Ashland county) as a kid, one of the local schools would hold an annual doughnut sale.  Much of the proceeds went directly to the school.  We were saddened to hear that our local school district no longer offered their homemade doughnuts, but on occasion they sell Krispy Kreams.  Of course the doughnuts just aren't the same!

We've decided to offer the fundraiser opportunities with some of our goodies.  To keep it simple and affordable for everyone, we've compiled a list of items & prices that would be offered for fundraiser opportunities.

We will provide order forms, collection envelopes and brochures. Students/parents will be responsible for collecting the amount due and turning it in with their order.  A specific delivery date will be agreed upon with the school or event prior to the sale.

This is a great way to raise funds for your school, community activities or organization!  Plus, you get the benefits of eating food that is wholesome, free of artificial ingredients, 100% all natural and you're supporting a small business within your community.

To ensure proper freshness and a reasonable delivery date, we can only allow up to two grades to participate in the fundraiser at a time (example: 7th & 8th graders or 2nd & 3rd graders).

Cinnamon Roll Sales:
School/Event gets 25% of the gross sales.  Cinnamon rolls will be priced at $2.50/naked & $2.75/Frosted for individually wrapped rolls or container of 6 Naked for $14.00 or 6 frosted for $15.00.  Frosting choices will be Vanilla or Maple.

Cookie Sales:
School/Event gets 25% of the gross sales.  Our ample sized and delicious cookies will be sold individually at $1.00 each or a bag of 1/2 a dozen for $5.50.  Cookies come in your choice of Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip or Buckeye.  

Holiday Bread Sales:
School/Event gets 20% of the gross sales. Students are given a brochure the features some of our best selling artisan breads.  Folks will be able to choose from items such as; our Pinwheel dessert bread, our giant 2 pound loaf of Pizza Bread, the always in demand Old World Italian, French and Foccacia breads.
