Sweet Sheets is a do-it-yourself fundraiser where your family and friends can buy sheets, have them delivered right to their house and we receive funds towards the Quebec trip. This fundraiser is done completely online where you share links for customers to purchase from and orders are sent directly to customers with no money or product handling by us.
Share your fundraiser link (below) with as many people as you can. Sharing via social media is probably your best bet, but you can also send out emails/texts with the fundraiser link!
This fundraiser will earn 20% of each order placed through the link. The link will remain open until January 31, 2025 – so you can add that as an order deadline when sharing.
