| 4/13/09 -- PAS Teaming with Great American Fundraising for New Season! |
Platinum is very excited to be partnering with Great American Fundraising for the 2009-2010 Platinum season. Our GA representative will be organizing ALL of our fundraisers. We will have one fundraiser a month for each month of the new season, with the exception of August and April. That's 10 GREAT fundraisers! As always, every fundraiser is optional. We make them available to help offset the costs of all-star cheerleading. Here are some of the great fundraisers we have in store:
Magazine subscriptions
Cookie dough
Gift brochure with handmade items
Custom made discount cards
Gift wrap
And much more! The even better news is that all of the GA fundraisers offer between 40% and 50% profit for what you sell. We are confident that for those athletes who want to fundraise, they can easily pay for the large majority of their Platinum costs with these fundraisers.
