My head is spinning. Got a lead on private school cleaning out store rooms and they offered me all they are wanting rid of. Old computer monitors, harddrives, printers, & other electronics.
I read somewhere (can't find now on here by searching) some one mentioned fundraisers. So I pitched idea in email. Recycling Fundraiser. Educational for children, $$ for school and less trash at the dump! ...is what I said. I didn't go into much detail. I told her we would provide containers, brochures with list of what we can recycle and they would get %..yada yada. SHE IS INTERESTED, and I am NOT ready. Meeting at 1:30 Friday to pick up scraps and discuss the fundraiser.
Venting, but any input would be greatly appreciated.....
Soooooo...This is a preschool, elem. My roommate does puppet shows and said she would help me out and write/perform one on recycling. I have already found ideas online but will need to design and print brochures. I found recycle coloring pages, word searches, I can print awards for the kids (Environmental Stewardship Certificate of Excellence, found template of this online)and the like and may use those.
But how do I do all this and pull it all together for pitch on Friday???
I was thinking maybe I could tell her we personalize to each school and their need for fundraising and once we discuss I can provide her with samples of lit. for event?
Someone told me I can get containers delivered for free but will take a hit on price paid for scraps?
The list of what we want is easy, I already have flyers made for that. Just will edit and personalize to fit the fundraiser.
What about parents who can't bring stuff to school? Should we offer to pick up in a certain period on regular routes?
Since it is a private school @ a church, could people get tax cut for donations?
Am I nuts peeps? Should I attempt this? Am I in over my head?
