WHAT IS THE PTO IDEAS' ULTIMATE EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGE?

The fundraiser described in this ebook could change the way your school raises money! It's an educational fundraising event that challenges the students to raise money based on what they learn. It's organized completely in-house,at your school, by your parent volunteers. It does not rely on outside vendors, but instead on motivated students - and we show you exactly how to motivate them!

The "Challenge" is for students to obtain pledges and raise money based on the number of correct answers they receive on an age-appropriate test -- like a walk-a-thon. But instead of walking miles, they are learning spelling words, math problems, or geography!

Not only is it fun & educational, but it has amazing profit potential!



POTENTIAL PROFIT

We generally think of auctions and golf tournaments as events that turn profits upwards of $10,000, $20,0000, and $30,000 or more. But this fundraiser is far simpler to plan and can be done in under a month's time. We'll show you how schools of all sizes have the potential to reach these amazing profit levels:
  • 200 students: potential profit of $12,000 or more
  • 400 students: potential profit of $24,000 or more
  • 600 students: potential profit of $36,000 or more

WE'VE PROVEN IT WORKS! See our article on one school's $13,000 success titled Bringing Fundraising Back In-House.



WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

In this ebook, we spell out exactly how to plan this event, give you solutions for potential issues that may arise, and give you tons of ideas to make it fun for the students. We've already implemented it, we've received feedback from teachers, parents and we've improved upon it to make it practical, easy to administer, profitable, educational, and fun!

You may be thinking that you can put together an Educational Challenge Fundraiser on your own; and you may be able to. But

planning this fundraiser is like planning an auction. Yes, you may be able to do it, but unless you've attended several successful auctions yourself or sought the advice of someone who has, there are so many details that you miss that you never even think of.

So, Yes, you may be able to plan this yourself, but for only $35 out of the potential thousands of dollars you can raise, why not bypass all of the legwork - PTO Ideas has already done it for you. We began writing this fundraiser in January 2008 and we estimate that over 500 hours have gone into consistently updating and improving it for you.

We show you exactly how to motivate the students to ensure more students return their sponsor sheets.

In addition you will also receive sample forms and letters, many of which just need to be photocopied:
  • Sponsor Sheet
  • Advertisements & Flyers - advertising the event
  • Letters - detailing the fundraiser to gain parent & corporate support
  • Thank You Card - which also serve as the sponsor's donation receipt
  • Banner - to promote the event
  • Certificate of Participation
  • Games - templates and planning details
  • Incentives - ideas for very inexpensive and even free prizes & incentives
  • Press Release - sample newspaper article
  • and More - over 40 pages of forms, letters, and promotional material!
If you prefer we can email you a .pdf file of the Sponsor Sheet, Thank You Card and Certificate of Participation customized with your school's name and event information (purchase of ebook required). For this added step, all we ask is that you provide us with your feedback and let us know the results of your fundraiser so we can let others know.

One more thing...

We are here to answer your questions along the way. Feel free to email us with your questions.

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

As you can see from the PTO Ideas web pages, I have done my best to provide you with thousands of FREE fundraising ideas and ideas for building a better parent-teacher organization. In doing so, I have developed such a passion for helping schools and for teaching parents how to improve upon their PTO operations. I have chosen this one particular fundraising page to offer for sale, because I am truly convinced it is the ultimate school fundraiser!

So many ideas do not make the cut and I do not place them on this site. PTO Ideas is not intended to be a massive "directory" of random ideas. Instead, I try to bring you only the ideas that really are worth implementing. As I designed it, this one particular fundraiser truly struck me and I could not believe every school in the country wasn't already doing this!

The general idea of this fundraiser came to me from two lines of an article I read, but I have developed all of the details contained within it. This is an original fundraiser found only on PTO Ideas.

This is the only fundraising idea on this site that I ask you to purchase. So if you do not trust me to provide you with quality ideas, then I can tell that you have not yet read enough of the pages on this PTO Ideas site. So please take a few minutes, hours, and even days to review all of the information we provide you for free. The ebook Budget Bashes: The Ultimate Educational Challenge is organized in a similar format. But first bookmark this page by adding it to your Favorites and remember to return; because although I tell you how to plan some fantastic fundraisers, none of them quite compare to this one!

Thank you,
Vicki Blaze
