Schools
Budget shortfalls make school fundraising a necessity. But there is no reason why fundraisers can't be healthy and nutritionally sound. The obesity rate among our children has almost tripled since 1978. Candy and cookie dough fundraisers contribute to this rising crisis and contradict school education on nutrition and fitness. Parents, teachers, students and school administrators need to work together to create a healthy culture in our schools.
Selling family memberships in a wellness plan is a healthy and profitable school fundraiser. Our online wellness program engages entire families in active fitness, healthy eating and behavior management all year long. There are no upfront costs and no minimums. There are no products to deliver. Families that sign up receive real value in an affordable wellness plan. The wellness plan membership fee provides your organization with a continuous monthly income stream as long as the participants remain members.

Three reasons your school should implement healthy fundraising
From: The Connecticut State Department of Education
- Healthy kids learn better: Research clearly demonstrates that good nutrition is linked to better behavior and academic performance. To provide the best possible learning environment for children, schools must also provide an environment that supports healthy behaviors.
- Provides consistent messages: Fundraising with healthy foods and non-food items demonstrates a school commitment to promoting healthy behaviors. It supports the classroom lessons students are learning about health, instead of contradicting them.
- Promotes a healthy school environment: Students need to receive consistent, reliable health information and ample opportunity to use it. Finding healthy alternatives to fundraising is an important part of providing a healthy school environment.
