How It Works

Start Your Fundraiser

Go to our convenient Sign Up Here! Form on this website, fill out the form, and click " Submit Form". We'll get you signed up on our end, and send your folder which includes enough order forms for your entire group, posters for your facility, and ten tips for a sucessful fundraiser page.

You will also want to download our Beginning Parent Letter to help announce your fundraiser.

Kick Off Your Fundraiser

Plan on having an enthusiastic presentation to build excitement for your fundraiser. Your kick-off event may offer a perfect opportunity to utilize some fresh-baked samples to build excitement. Clearly communicate your goals, delivery date and time, and when the participants should turn in their money and orders.

Pass out the order forms along with the personalized Beginning Parent Letter you downloaded from our website, and get started with the selling!

Promoting Your Fundraiser

You should take advantage of any and every means to effectively communicate your fundraiser to the public. Hang your posters that have been provided in your folder, in high traffic areas of your facility.

Announce your fundraiser through emails, newsletters, yard signs, your website, and/or phone trees. You may even want to check out any community forums, radio stations, newspapers, or other media outlets for cost efficient advertising.

You may also want to download, edit, and use our Press Release Letter to help communicate your sale to the public.

Half-way Through Your Fundraiser

Download and personalize our Mid-Sale Parent Letter. Often participants only sell on the first couple of days and the last couple of days of a fundraiser. This letter offers a reminder to get out and sell to help meet the goals of your organization.

Reaching the End of Your Fundraiser

Let your parents know the fundraiser is winding down by downloading and printing our Deadline Parent Letter. All money should be collected on or before the End Date. You will have a couple of days before your order is due to collect any late orders. Remember, good communication goes a long way to making sure your group stays on track, so please use the letters we provide or whatever other means you have designed.

Ordering Your Product

You can submit your order by choosing one of these three convient options;

- Fill out the Fax return order form that was included in your folder of information. And send it via fax at 219-754-1199.

- Simply email your totals (by flavor) to orders@labraidfundraising.com

- Please feel free to use our convenient, easy-to-use order calculator located on our Tools Page. To place your order with us, simply download the order calculator of your choice from the Tools section of this website. Then, input the totals from the bottom of each order guide along with the students name and teacher (if applicable). Once you've input your order, simply attach the spreadsheet to an email and send it to your fundraising consultant or info@labraidfundraising.com

-You will be notified via email with your order confirmation from our office staff so you can have a check available at the delivery-

Delivering Your Product

It will be VERY important for parents to pick their order up in a timely manner. Remember, our products are frozen; however, our products can stay at room temperature for 3-4 hours and still be refrozen. It is always good to have a contingency plan for orders not picked up.

On delivery day, you should:

1. Bring your original order forms.

2. Bring bags to place your sorted orders into.

3. Please have three to five tables set up (depending on the size of your order). Feel free to print off flavor signs and tape them to your table for easy sorting and identification. You can get flavor signs from our Tools Page.

4. Have a few volunteers if necessary. We suggest one voulnteer/150 items sold.

5. We will bring your products into your facility and stack them according to flavor.

6. Please choose a sorting location that is easily accessable for wheeled carts. (Prefereably no stairs)

7. After we have counted all of the products together to make sure everything you ordered was accounted for, we will ask you to initial the pull sheet to sign off on the product.

8. Sign the invoice and we will accept the check for payment in full written to LaBraid Inc.

9. You and your volunteers will then need to take your original order forms and separate your orders.

If you have questions about any of these steps please contact your fundraising consultant.

Always remember, we are here to serve your fundraising needs by "Helping you, help yourself." If you have any questions, or concerns, don't hesitate to call or email at any time. We have many years of fundraising experience and will leverage that experience to help solve any issues you may have along the way.
