Sometimes, youth organizations need a little boost to excite them about fundraising. That is why our Otis Spunkmeyer fundraising program offers the best selection of products available in the industry, PLUS a fun and rewarding prize program to help you reach your fundraising goal.
Our Tons of Prizes program is reserved for elementary-middle school-age children and includes some of the coolest prizes you'll find anywhere, and kids will love them. Tons of Prizes is a cumulative prize program offered free to keep your participants motivated and reward them for a job well done! Setting a goal to earn a higher price level will keep your participants focused, motivated, and selling.
Our Tons of Prizes program is available on orders submitted as packed-by-seller, not for bulk orders. Individual student/participant order forms can't be combined to qualify for higher-level prizes, and we reserve the right not to ship prizes if the organization abuses the purpose of the prize program.

Cheese & Sausage Fundraiser Overview
Participant Letter - We will customize a participant letter to include why you are fundraising, your goal, the closing date, to whom to make checks payable (if applicable), and whom to contact if any participants have questions. The letter will include the steps for a participant to register, the online store URL, your Group ID, tips for promoting the fundraiser via email, text, and social media, and instructions for your customers to place orders.
Fundraising Goals - Review your goals with your members and set a minimum number of items for each participant to sell. In addition to showing the brochure to co-workers, friends, and family, we suggest asking your participants to email 30-40 contacts, send texts, and post on all available social media to encourage direct purchases from the seller and/or share the link to purchase online. Supporters can pay your organization by cash, check, or Cash App. You choose. We also provide electronic payment by phone.

Choose your Cheese & Sausage Fundraising Brochure. You can choose one brochure, or consider combining our Heartland Cheese and Sausage fundraising brochure with our Pine River Cold Pack Wisconsin Cheeses brochure to offer your supporters more variety. Brochures will be combined into a single fundraiser to qualify for free shipping, and items from both brochures will be packed together by the seller. Request your brochures. Call us, or complete a fundraising Purchase and Reservation Agreement and return it to us by fax at 410-630-7080 or by scan/email to deb@best-fundraising-ideas.com. We will ship one brochure, order form, and collection envelope for each of your participants, who will ask their family, friends, and neighbors to buy items from the brochure. Orders are taken, and money is collected. We offer an electronic payment option for your supporters, in addition to cash sales.
Why not offer a wide and wonderful variety of the most-loved and recognized fundraising cheeses, sausages, and meat sticks in one fundraiser brochure? Your customers are sure to love purchasing items and supporting your fundraiser! If you'd love a wider selection of items, please also view our Heartland Collection fundraising brochure, which offers cheese and sausage, plus a wide variety of additional items.
Offering our Heartland Cheese & Sausage fundraising brochure year-round is great. However, it's a long tradition to offer cheese & sausage in the fall for the holiday season. Start fundraising in the early fall for Thanksgiving delivery. Heartland Cheese & Sausage will be a very welcome fundraising brochure for your supporters. With a large variety of flavors, there is truly something wonderful for everyone.

Promoting your Online Fundraising Store: Your organization can raise even more money with our online store by offering hundreds of items and a variety of donation options. Online sales will make it easy for your participants to contact their family and friends locally and throughout the United States. We will set up an account for your organization, assign a unique Group ID for your store, and provide login credentials for your chairperson's dashboard. Your chairperson will invite participants to register as sellers by directing them to the online store, entering their Group ID, and clicking the registration link. Visit your chairperson's dashboard to track progress in real time! Students will receive prize credit for their online sales.
Online Fundraising Shopping Options - Your supporters can have their order shipped to your organization along with their brochure sales order, or they can have it shipped directly to their home. Your organization will earn up to 40% profit on all online sales.
Student Success - The key to a successful online fundraiser is to ensure your students register as sellers and use many options to invite all their friends and family to shop at your Goodies and Gifts online store. We highly recommend encouraging your participants to send messages on the first day of your sale. Because people are forgetful or may need to be asked more than once before purchasing, we recommend asking your participants to send emails and posts as reminders halfway through your sale. A "last chance to order" reminder should be sent a few days before your sale's end. As a chairperson, sending reminders to your participants is key to success.
Collect the order forms and money from your sellers after your traditional brochure-selling period (2-3 weeks). Money is deposited in your organization's account, and the order forms are submitted to us for processing. We will provide a shipping label for returning your seller's order forms. There are no case requirements for the Heartland Cheese & Sausage fundraiser or our Pine River, Wisconsin, Cheese fundraiser! Order only what you sell!

Sales Reports/Invoice - Once data entry is complete, we'll email the sales reports and your invoice for the amount due. We will deduct your online sales profit from the amount due on your brochure sales, or vice versa if your online sales are higher. Your organization keeps the profit you earned upfront. After reviewing the invoice, you can pay by mailing a school/business check or a money order, along with a copy of the invoice. You can also call and pay by Visa or Master Card for a fee. We accept purchase orders from public schools with a 15-day payment agreement and will release your order for shipment upon receipt of a valid purchase order. All orders for our cheese and sausage fundraisers are shipped by each seller, packed separately.
Your organization keeps the profit you earned upfront. We will deduct your online sales profit from the amount due on your brochure sales. Orders shipping directly to a customer's home will ship within a few days. For traditional brochure orders, we aim to ship your cheese and sausage fundraiser order within 4 to 5 weeks of receiving payment. It may take longer to ship your order during the busiest season, October and November. Please allow an additional 3-5 days for transportation time once your order has shipped.
You can sign up now to host a virtual, direct-ship-to-home fundraiser. No one needs to sell face-to-face or use a brochure and order form. Virtual fundraisers do not include foods that require refrigeration. Cheese spreads are shelf-stable, and cold-pack cheese items require refrigeration. Once you submit the online form, your online store will activate immediately and allow you to raise funds until you are ready to close your sale. We will ship each order directly to the supporters. Your group can still earn a 40% profit with our online sales! For higher sales, we suggest including a traditional brochure fundraiser. Call us at 860-384-3691 to request fundraising brochures, and we will link your online sales to your brochure sales.
