School is out now, but many organizations, summer sports groups, and more work diligently to meet much of their needed funding efforts this time of year. Partnering with Schwan’s can help ease the burden of time and effort involved in fundraising with Schwan’s Cares™.
Local supporters simply purchase their favorite products from Schwan’s and a percentage of that purchase will go to who they select to support. There is no need to tote around products for sale or even handle the money when purchases are made.
If you might have missed my previous post about Schwan’s Cares™, here’s a quick breakdown of how it works for an online fundraiser: During the first 30-45 days of your online campaign, patrons can purchase a $25 Schwan’s eCertificate (one per campaign/per customer) and you earn $10. You would also receive 20% of every food purchase made toward your online campaign during that time. After the first 45 days, you will earn 5% on each order throughout the rest of the year.
Order online on your Schwan’s Cares campaign page, or by phone via toll free number 1-855-870-7208 (Option 2). Existing Schwan’s customers on a designated delivery route must also order either online or over the phone to contribute to a fundraiser. Products are delivered directly to the home of each supporter during the time specified at checkout. You may change payment at the door to a preferred method of payment (Check, Cash, EBT, or Credit and Debit Card are accepted). If you are not home during the time of delivery, we will leave your items in a protected freezer bag at no cost to you.
There are over 250 Schwan’s home-style foods. Check out some of the items Schwan’s has available for your supporters to purchase:
Super Sweet Cut Corn
Super Sweet Cut Corn is available in a 2.5 lb. bag for $5.19. Enjoy sweet and flavorful corn that is flash frozen for freshness. It can be used as a mealtime side dish, added to main dishes, and more. It is ready from the microwave in minutes and comes packaged in a resealable bag.
Asian Style Vegetable Stir-Fry
Asian Style Vegetable Stir-Fry is available in a 24 oz. resealable bag. It is a blend of Grade A broccoli, sliced carrots, tender snap peas, red peppers, and crisp water chestnuts. There are two 1 oz. seasoning packets included that can be made up with a little bit of water or oil to make a tasty Asian sauce. This product is low sodium (20 mg per 1/3 cup serving with the seasoning) and also a heart healthy option.
Prepare with or without chicken and serve with rice for an easy meal. Leftovers will be sparse. 🙂
Broccoli Florets
Here’s another healthy option for quick and easy meals – Broccoli Florets. They come in a 1.5 lb. resealable bag that retails for $5.19. The broccoli florets are hand-picked and Grade A. They are crunchy yet tender and deliciously fresh. Broccoli works perfectly as a side dish or main dish. It can be served by itself, topped with a bit of Parmesan cheese, added to make a quick and tasty broccoli soup, or added to many other main other dishes.
Butter Pecan Ice Cream
Okay, we’ve gone over some deliciously healthy items. How about an indulgent treat like Butter Pecan Ice Cream? This 56 oz. carton retails for $5.74 and is perfect for a warm weather treat. It’s features the perfect blend of sweet and salty with smooth ice cream and roasted, salted pecans. It’s great to bring to the table any day of the week.
We’ve seen some great products and now I would like to share two groups who are currently working on their online campaign with Schwan’s Cares™. Please feel free to check them out.
Rochester John Marshall Rocket Baseball
This group of young gentlemen are seeking funds to replace their batting cage that was damaged by a winter storm and to also purchase new uniforms.
Crawl 4 the Cure
Crawl 4 the Cure is a offroad event that is held in northern Minnesota. Proceeds go to benefit the National MS Society. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that affects every patient differently. MS can cause difficulty with completing simple tasks, like brushing your teeth or even answering the phone.
Crawl 4 the Cure supports the upper Midwest Chapter of the National MS Society. 2014 is Crawl 4 the Cure’s 10th anniversary and so far they have helped raise over $450,000 for the organization! Every dollar raised in their campaign will go directly to the National MS Society.
