A. We know that fund raising success relies on high group participation. Try to unite your sellers and get them excited about the campaign by telling them exactly how they will benefit. Show them how much you need to raise and howmany candles each person must sell to reach your goal. Most importantly, notify parents of this. They will be a determining factor in reaching your goal. Set your goals higher than you expect, because we'vr found that if you ask more from your group you often get it.

A. Selling over the Thanksgiving week-end is the #1 SELLING TIME? Second is the first two weeks of September or during the month of November, and any time before March break in the Spring. Our fundraisers are run successfully year-round. but these are the prime times of the year.
Q. Should participants sell door to door? And, to whom should we sell?
A. Your safety is important to us. We discourage door-to-door fundraising without adult supervision. We ask that all children sell to family and friends or have mom or dad take the sales sheet to work with them. If the campaign is being run over a holiday, some people might choose to take orders from relatives at family gatherings. Remember to sell to people you know. Friends, co-workers,church members, and other people you trust are your best resources.
