Briefly describe this fundraising event:
Discovery Toys offers great educational toys for children from birth to high school years. Parents and staff browse the full product catalog, with descriptions of all the skills children will learn with each toy.
Organizing the event:
It is so easy! Talk to a Discovery Toy consultant, or myself.
Best to do this in the Fall during holiday season. Have a toy display for a few days so children and parents can touch and play with the toys.
Or have the consultant have a table during a parent meeting and can answer questions.
School can create a wish list of items they want, if parents want to buy items for their children to use at school.
Capital possibilities:
15%-20% depending on whether you want to get FREE toys, or cash. Plus any incentives the consultant might offer.
Degree of difficulty:
None. The consultant should do all the work.
Order only what parents and school want! No candy left over!
Other suggestions or comments:
Money is collected up front, which helps when it is time to deliver the items. Usually only takes 1-2 weeks to receive the toys!
