Kick Start your Football Fundraising Efforts with Football Frenzy

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Football Frenzy, the premier Football Fundraiser, will kick off in September with a great opening match up between Peyton Manning with the Denver Broncos and the six time Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

MVP

The four-time MVP, Manning missed all of last season with a neck injury and was then released in the off season by the Indianapolis Colts, the only team he’s ever played for. While suiting up for the Broncos will be something new for the legendary quarterback, facing the Steelers is not. Manning is 2 and 2 all-time against Pittsburgh with 7 TDs and 4 interceptions.

His debut with Denver will follow the departure of the fan favorite Tim Tebow, who led the Broncos past the Steelers in the playoffs last season with an exciting overtime win before being traded to the Jets. The Broncos landed Manning after the veteran QB met with several potential suitors. Denver, obviously excited about the debut of Manning has not won a Super Bowl since his new boss, John Elway, was behind center.

Steelers and Broncos head a list of four prime-time games on the opening week of the season. The Giants host the Cowboys in an opening Wednesday night contest and on the Monday night football doubleheader Cincinnati heads to Baltimore, followed by San Diego at Oakland.

Our own Football Frenzy will also kick off on week one with the potential for you to raise over $55,000 for your organization by distributing Green Bee Fundraising Football Frenzy Sweepstakes tickets included with Green Bee Savings Cards.

The tickets feature three of the pro teams each week and cash prizes are awarded based on the total number of points scored by each of the three sets of teams giving ticket holders plenty to root for.

Your organization can sell 500, 1,000 or up to 4,960 or more tickets with our football fundraising programs. The more you sell, the more opportunities you have to raise funds for your organization which will receive 60% of all sales profits after you’ve paid your lucky Football Frenzy ticket winners.
Don’t wait, get ready for what looks to be an exciting opening week to the 2012 football season.

Congratulations Robert Melchitzky the winner of the Kindle Fire

Monday, November 21st, 2011


Green Bee Fundraising wants to congratulate Robert Melchitzky, the winner of the Kindle Fire in our 1500 Fans Giveaway! Robert plans to give the Fire to his daughter for Christmas.

Robert purchased his Sweepstakes ticket from the Pennsylvania Knights of Columbus, which has raised over $200,000.00 with Green Bee Fundraisers for the various charities that the KoC supports.

What we thought was simply a great idea to increase our fan base on Facebook turned out to be a great moment, highlighting the spirit of giving; the KoC giving to charities and Robert giving to his daughter.

Robert’s daughter will be pretty happy with her Kindle Fire. She will be able to enjoy the 18 million movies, songs, magazines, books, apps and games which will come to life on the vibrant, full-color, extra-wide viewing angle touchscreen. With Amazon’s dual-core processor, she can stream music while browsing the web or read books while downloading videos. The Fire also features Amazon Silk, a revolutionary, cloud-accelerated browser that uses “split browser” architecture to leverage the speed and power of the Amazon Web Services cloud. Plus, free storage for all her Amazon digital content in the Amazon Cloud! The Fire was designed for on-the-go use, small and light enough to hold in one hand, yet incredibly durable. If this isn’t enough, the Fire also features Amazon’s Whispersync technology to automatically sync her library, last page read, bookmarks, notes, and videos.
Come to think of it, Robert may want to reconsider his choice…Either way, Congratulations to Robert on winning the Kindle Fire! We hope you, we mean your daughter, enjoys the Fire.

Green Bee would also like to congratulate the Pennsylvania Knights of Columbus for an impressive history of charitable work and donations, and is proud to have been able to help such a great organization. Green Bee Fundraising Sweepstakes is a highly profitable sweepstakes program with on-line results and automatic prize payouts for your supporters. Not only are your supporters entered into the sweepstakes, but they are also eligible to join our exclusive Green Bee Savings Club. A Green Bee Fundraiser is a win-win opportunity, and with a 65% profit margin, can help your organization achieve its fundraising goals. Just ask the Pennsylvania Knights of Columbus.

Using Facebook to Highlight Your Organization

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

Are you looking for a better way to connect your organization’s members? Does your organization have a Facebook Fan Page? If not you could be missing out on valuable and cost efficient ways to connect with your group. Follow these easy steps to highlight your organization by using Facebook and watch your organization grow.

If your organization does not already have a Facebook Fan Page this is a great way to get started. Start by picking a member of the group to be the initial Administrator after the Fan Page is created you are able to assign more administrators as needed. Follow the easy steps to get started from the Facebook Help Center located under the Account Menu.

With your organization’s Fan Page created it is time to get the news out to your members. Get the word out by messaging members you may already be connected to in return ask those you are connected with to do the same with the members they know. Sending out an email to your members is a great way to get the news out as well. Make sure to link the new Fan Page in your email so your members can find your Fan Page with just a click of their mouse. Bring attetion to your new page at your organization’s next meeting or event as well.

There are so many great things you can do with your Fan Page and no matter what your organization stands for all of these ideas can work for you:

  • Connect with members by posting event dates, times and location. If you have an event that has to be canceled or moved Facebook is a great way to get the message out fast. You can also use the Fan Page to post a note with your organization’s meeting Minutes or you are able to post a game scores, player’s statistics or any other form of important information for your organization.
  • Use your Fan Page to highlight an outstanding group member, for example if your page is a sports team feature a different athlete each week. Or if your group is volunteer based showcase an outstanding member and the work they have done. By showing recognition to your members it can build a great sense of pride for your members and encourage a greater feel of community.
  • A Fan Page is a great place to put up media of your group’s activities. You can easily add photos of an event, or video of a game or an awards show. By sharing media of your group could encourage new members to join or it will connect with those members that are not as active making them feel more involved. Facebook makes it easy to share with members any form of media make sure to utilize this tool.
  • Creating a Fan Page is one of the number one ways to creating new members for your organization. With Facebook connecting to over 250 million people world wide your Fan Page has the potential to connect with anyone on Facebook. If your group is part of a National Organization your Fan Page will help to connect with other members of your organization making it easy to share their ideas, articles, and events.
  • If your organization is running a fundraiser Facebook is a great way to promote it. Use your Fan Page for members to share the event with their friends and family. You can use your page to update members and donors on how your fundraiser is going. Provide pictures or video of what you used your funds for. Using your Fan Page you are able to honor your top members in raising funds which will reward members for their hard work and dedication to your group.
When you are making your Organization’s  Fan Page remember your audience and what they would like to get out of being a fan of your page. Remember there is no right or wrong way to run a Fan Page and to have fun with it. The purpose of a Fan Page is to connect members and the best part it is free to your organization.

How to Maximize Profit and Run a Successful Fundraiser

Friday, September 9th, 2011
There are many important components to running a profitable, successful fundraiser with organization at the top of the list. By following these simple steps your organization will be well on their way to raising the funds they need. 

Start with determining what cause or need your organization will be raising funds for. It is important to supporters to know where their funds will be going whether it is for a new gym at school, a trip or conference for the organization to attend or for the general fund a defined plan is very important. With a purpose for the funds decided the next step is to set a goal or an amount to be raised. Remember to set a realistic goal, but do not set the bar too low either you want your members to be excited for the goal. By putting your plan in writing roles and responsibilities will be spelled out laying the blueprint for success.

Choosing what type of fundraiser will work for your organization is very important as well. There are many different types of fundraisers available from selling a product, sweepstakes, providing a service or hosting an event.  Take into consideration the size of your group, the amount of time you have to raise funds before selecting the right fundraiser. Remember you want to find something that will be fun and simple for your group to participate in.

Finding volunteers or enlisting your organization’s members to participate is key to maximizing profit. If your members are children ask parents or guardians to get involved. The more volunteers you have enlisted the greater the amount of opportunity there is for funds to be raised.

Getting the word out about your organization’s fundraiser is important and having a meeting is a great way to kick off your fundraiser. Make sure you provide all of the important information for the the fundraiser such as important dates, a contact person for questions and do not forget to let everyone know what they are raising funds for. A meeting should get your members or volunteers excited about the fundraiser and what better way to get people motivated than to offer an incentive or a prize. By offering a prize to the top seller or person who raises the most funds is a full proof way of maximizing your profits. Remember to offer something that your members would want, if you have children selling pick a popular toy or electronic. If your members are adults pick something more like a giftcard to a popular store or restaurant in your area. The old saying goes you have to spend money to make money.

Utilizing technology is a great way to increase your profit. With over 250 million people using Facebook it is a great and cost effective way to get the word out about your organization’s fundraiser. Create a group page for your fundraiser making it easy to connect with your volunteers along with potential donors.

Sending a thank you email to your donors is a great way to show your appreciation and inform the donor of your organization’s success. If your organization’s has a website make sure to post about your fundraiser with updates and a follow-up when your fundraiser is complete.

Remember it is important to plan and be organize when running a fundraiser. Always remember the cause you are raising funds for. Most importantly make your fundraiser fun and exciting for the members is the best way to increase your profits.
