3. GO! Launch Your Campaign!
Share the link to your fundraising sales page with your supporters. All they need to do is click the link to go to our website and order. ALL orders are placed online, so you don’t have to deal with cash.

We’ll send you reports every couple of days to let you know how sales are going. Your team members can keep the momentum up by talking up the fundraiser in their social networks.

“We had a fantastic fundraising experience with Sparkplug!
Kara and her team were organized, knowledgeable & supportive. The web page they designed was attractive & easy to use, fundraising dates flexible according to our events & we appreciated having our logo visible on each bag purchased.
Every coffee drinker in our group found the decaf, a dark or medium roast coffee to enjoy.
Overall it was a very positive experience, one which we plan to repeat before the year is over.”

“I’m just having my first cup of your fine coffee this morning, after picking it up last week at choir.
(Oh, the mob scene, as we distributed from the trunk of a car. It was like something from that Netflix comedy, Mo, where he’s got such “high-quality goods” in a nondescript vehicle, and the exchange becomes a little drama.)
I love the flavour, first off.
But the part I like best is the feeling of connectedness that goes with your fine product. I do so much appreciate the feeling that your work helps to make our community stronger and more cohesive.”
