	CharityMania School Success Story

How can a CharityMania fundraiser benefit your School? Read below to find out!
	Problem With all the recent cuts that have been made to education in California, an elementary school in Los Angeles was worried about having enough money in their school budget to continue funding their music and art programs. In the past, music and art have traditionally been the first programs cut during a school budget crisis. So a group of dedicated parents began working with the PTO to research some school fundraising ideas that would help keep the music playing and the artists drawing at their school.
	Goal After meeting a few times, the PTO and the parent group decided to look for fundraising ideas that were different from the traditional types of school fundraisers that they have used in the past. Based on last year’s budget figures, they estimated that it would take about $4000 to keep the programs going for the entire year. The PTO group and the parents of all the musicians and artists in the school wanted to work together and make a concentrated fundraising effort to achieve their goal.
	Solution The PTO talked with other elementary, middle, and high schools and asked them for their fundraising recommendations. As a result, they found out about CharityMania’s unique fundraising programs. After speaking with the CharityMania team and getting all the information, the entire fundraising committee thought the HoopsMania fundraiser would be a perfect option for them and something that was different from anything else the school had done in the past. This unique fundraiser, based on college basketball, was just what they needed to get everyone involved and excited about this fundraising project.
	Fundraiser Selection The PTO and parent group selected the HoopsMania fundraiser because their school had never conducted a fundraiser like this before. HoopsMania was different, creative and very profitable. Given the demographics in their community and the tough economic times, they decided to select the $10 version of HoopsMania. The school knew exactly how much they would need to sell to hit their goal and since HoopsMania was a sports-based fundraiser, the women in the PTO and parent group knew they could get all the men involved and excited to promote the fundraiser.
	Results All the members of the PTO board, parent group and teachers in the art and music department at the school targeted to make 20 sales each. They had about 35 people promoting the HoopsMania fundraiser to friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. They knew they would make $6.50 in profit with each sale. After all their hard fundraising work was done, the committee was thrilled to have made over 650 sales, bringing their fundraising total to over $4200! The school art and music programs were saved!
	Customer Feedback “We were so excited to learn about CharityMania’s unique fundraising programs. They were very helpful in answering all our questions about how their fundraisers could benefit our school. We knew it would be a good choice for us, simply because it was so different from anything our school had done in the past. The folks we had promoting the fundraiser thought it was an easy sell and we received a lot of positive feedback from our ticket holders that played along with the game. We look forward to fundraising with CharityMania again in the future, but hopefully not because our school needs to save yet another program from the budget chopping block!“
