School: Tanglen
Elementary - Minnetonka, MN
Event: Walk
for Pride Goal: $9,000 Raised: $18,000
Profit %: 95%
Website: www.TanglenElementaryschool.WalkForPride.com
Testimonial: "Our school decided to do
the walk-a-thon fundraiser with only about 4 weeks to organize and
execute. Pride Fundraising was a
wonderful partner to help us get through this.
They
walked us through how it would work in a short period of time. The marketing materials were delivered
promptly and looked wonderful and make it even easier for the kids to ask for
donations to help our school.
It
was a wonderful event and we were very happy with how it all worked together,
our custom web page was easy to use and update, there were no glitches and
there was a great feedback mechanism to let us know when online donations were
made. Keeping track of the donations
online was simple and pain free. We
will go back to Pride Fundraising for our next fundraising event."

School: Assumption
School - Granger, IA
Event: Bike Ride for Pride Goal:
$20,000 Raised: $25,000
Profit %: 97%
Website: www.AssumptionSchool.BikeRideForPride.com
Testimonial: "The pre-packaged solutions offered by Pride
Fundraising greatly simplify the entire process and can be used by anyone. The colorful marketing materials and
collection envelopes allowed our event, which I co-chaired, to raise more money
than any other student lead fundraiser in our school's history. The best part is, that after all that hard
work, we were able to keep over 95% of our proceeds as profit. I would recommend the events offered by
Pride Fundraising to anyone."

School: Nodland-Sunnyside Elementary - Sioux City, IA
Event: Walk for Pride Goal: $18,000 Raised:
$22,500 Profit %: 88%
Website: www.Nodland-Sunnyside.WalkForPride.com
Testimonial: "Pride Fundraising helped us
with our first ever Walk for Pride event.
We raised nearly $5,000 in cash alone from businesses to underwrite the
cost of t-shirts, prizes and bounce houses for the day of the event. We had many other businesses donate prizes,
water, food, and items for the goodie bags.
Parents
were involved primarily with the event itself by volunteering to mark off laps,
man the first aid station, sell water & snack mix, register participants.
Other parents assisted with sorting t-shirts and filling the participant goodie
bags and tallying weekly pledges.
Each
week for 3 weeks leading up to the event, we collected packets on Fridays and
collected money and tallied pledges. We
announced on Monday the classes/teachers that had the most envelopes turned in
(not the most money raised, but the most amount of envelopes turned in each
week). That class got a prize (like
granola bars - the kids just really like hearing their class announced over the
loud speaker). And we also drew names
from each school from the list of kids who turned in their packets. We drew 5
names per week from each school (Nodland is TK - 2 and Sunnyside is 3-5).
The
event itself was held on a beautiful September afternoon - everyone in
attendance had a great time and enjoyed the day and activities. Students were
awarded a participation certificate with the number of laps.
What a
great fundraiser, we look forward to getting an early start next year!
