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 an accumulative prize program offered free to keep your participants motivated and to 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 reserved the right to not ship prizes if the organization abuses the purpose of the prize program.
Why not offer a wide and wonderful variety of the most loved and recognized fundraising cheese, sausage, and meat sticks offered in one fundraiser brochure? Your customers are sure to love purchasing items and supporting your fundraiser! If you'd love a greater variety of items, please also view our Heartland Collection fundraising brochure which offers cheese and sausage plus a large variety of additional items.
Offering our Heartland Cheese & Sausage fundraising brochure any time of the year is great. However, it's a long tradition to offer cheese & sausage in the fall for the holiday seasons. Start fundraising in the early fall for Thanksgiving delivery. Heartland Cheese & Sausage will be a very welcome fundraising brochure your supporters will love. With a large variety of flavors, there is truly something wonderful for everyone.
Fundraising with Heartland Cheese & Sausage is easy! We will provide your organization with FREE Heartland Cheese & Sausage fundraising brochures, order forms, and collection envelopes for each of your sellers. There are no upfront costs, no requirement to purchase products in advance, and you can start selling right away. With no money upfront, you can order your brochures for each of your participants, take orders, and then simply submit your order forms. We'll do the rest! Reports will be provided for what each participant sold, and we'll box your orders packed by each seller at no additional fee.

Participant Letter - We will customize a participant letter to include why you are fundraising, your goal, closing date, whom to make checks payable to, 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 web address, your Group ID, tips for promoting the fundraiser through email, text, 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 purchase directly with 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.

Online Fundraising Shopping Options - Your supporters can have their order shipped to your organization along with your brochure sales order, or they can have their order 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 assure your students register as a seller and be sure they use many options to invite all their friends and family to shop on your Goodies and Gifts online store. We highly recommend encouraging your participants to send out messages on the first day your sale starts. Because people are forgetful or may need to be asked more than once before purchasing, we recommend asking your participants to send out emails and posts as a reminder halfway through your sale. A few days before the end of your sale, send a "last chance to order" reminder should be sent. As a chairperson, sending reminders to your participants will be the key to success.
After your traditional brochure selling period (we recommend 2-3 weeks) collect the order forms and money from your sellers. Money is deposited in your organization's account, and the order forms are submitted to us for processing. We will provide you with a shipping label for returning your seller's order forms. There are no case requirements for Heartland Cheese & Sausage fundraiser or our Pine River Wisconsin Cheese fundraiser! Order only what you sell!

After reviewing the invoice, you can pay by mailing a school/business check or money order along with a copy of your invoice. You can also call and pay by Visa or Master Card for a fee.
