Great Fundraiser also helps schools with new nutrition requirements!

Here is a great fundraiser that can also help your school fight childhood obesity! We know that parents, teachers, and school administrators everywhere are concerned about children’s wellness, and we know that PTA officials all over the country are anxious to find ways to help fight childhood obesity. The USDA recently passed a law to encourage schools to become more proactive in wellness issues. This new law is called the “Local Wellness Policy” and it takes effect this school year. This law requires every school to develop a wellness plan aimed at reducing childhood obesity.

Download this document to learn more about the Local Wellness Policy and the requirements for your school. Or, go to this government web site: http://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/Healthy/wellnesspolicy.html

The Good Food and Play Make a Balanced Day CDs teach young children, ages 3 through 12, about the USDA's new "MyPyramid" and the USDA's Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In addition they are the ideal solution for the nutrition education requirement of the new Local Wellness Policy law.

A Unique Fundraising Program that can earn $300, $700, $1,000 or more per school for your local PTA!

While helping your school meet the nutrition education requirement of the new "Local Wellness Policy" you can also use this educational CD as a fundraiser for your PTA! Good Food and Play Make a Balanced Day CDs can be ordered by PTA members for only $2.00 per CD when you order in volumes of 150 CDs or more. This low cost creates a great opportunity for you to raise money for your PTA. Here are some ideas on how to use the CDs as part of a fundraiser:

1. Find a business partner to gift the CDs to your school. PTA buys 200 CDs @ $2.00 and then sells them to the business partner at $3.50 = $700.00, PTA keeps $300.00 and gives the gifted CDs to your school to help fulfill the Local Wellness Policy requirements. (CDs are sold individually on this Web site at $9.95 and discounted at some retail outlets at $3.95; so $3.50 is a great price for this valuable learning tool!) This helps not only the PTA, but helps the school find a great learning tool to fulfill the nutrition education requirement of the Local Wellness Policy.
2. PTA sells the CDs individually to parents while encouraging the parent to view the CDs with their children. PTA buys 200 CDS @ $2.00 and then sells the CDs at $3.50 = $700.00, PTA keeps $300.00.
3. PTA seeks a business partner to buy 200 CDs @ $2.00. Then the PTA sells them individually at $3.50. PTA keeps $700.00.
4. Don't limit your school to 200 CDs, buy 300 or 400 and following any of these programs to increase your fundraising potential.
5. Be creative and come up with your own program. Schools will find fulfilling this nutrition education requirement challenging. These CDs take little teacher time and can be given to your schools library, media center, or even sent home has a fun homework assignment.
6. Don't worry about fundraising, buy these great CDs for your school with PTA funds to help fight childhood obesity and fulfill the Local Wellness Policy requirements. Place 40 in your media center, 20 in your library, and 5 in each classroom. Give the rest to your principal to be handed out as rewards, or to children with special needs.
