Raise Funds While Teaching About Plastic Bag Waste

Fundraisers can be awful. You know the type: you pay ridiculous amounts of cash for an overpriced knick-knack that you subsequently have to dust for the next twenty years - unless you’re lucky and it “accidentally” falls off the mantle.

It’s about time someone hosted a fundraiser where you could buy something you could actually USE. Guess what? You can.

Ever go to the grocery for just an item or two? Get stuck with yet another flimsy plastic sack that you may or may not remember to put in the already overstuffed fabric scrunchie bag you bought for that purpose? We’ve all been there; it’s the attack of the supermarket bag.

What if you could eliminate the need for 90% of those bags, and look stylish at the same time? What if you could do this by holding the coolest, greenest fundraiser your town ever saw?

Dodo bags’ are made out of 100% cotton, and have an over the shoulder strap that make carrying them easy. Let people know that every one purchased not only helps your cause, but helps fund habitat restoration and clean-up projects - they will be falling over themselves to buy one (or two)!

The great thing about the Dodo bag is that it combines fundraising with a way to help the environment, and provides a useful product that people won’t mind buying. The sturdy cloth bag holds up to forty pounds, and is stylish enough to use as a purse or diaper bag too!

People will want to buy two at least - and keep an extra in the car for those spur of the moment trips to the store or library! Best of all, the profit on these bags is incredible - 40%, and you don’t have to charge an outrageous price to get it. Add to that the fact that a portion of the cost of each bag is donated to help protect endangered species, and it’s an all around win.

Consider going green with your fundraiser this year, and watch interest in your cause soar! You can easily market these bags to friends, family, and even online for a quick profit and a feel-good conclusion to your project.
