So Many Reasons Why to Choose our Extravaganza Products
Sometimes, youth organizations need a little boost to get them excited about fundraising. That is why our Extravaganza 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.
How does our Extravaganza Fundraiser Work?
Fall Fundraiser
Notes: If you are unsure if your organization can sell 400 items to receive free shipping, please view our Cookie Dough Fundraisers page and consider one of our shelf-stable fundraisers to save on shipping: Heartland Goodies & Gifts, Heartland Home Collection, Sweet Shop Cookies, Minis & More, or one of our Neighbors Cookies fundraisers. Shelf-stable orders can be shipped by UPS and FedEx rather than a refrigerated common carrier and could lower your shipping fee should you sell less than 400 items. Shipping is free with 400+ items sold. Brochure sales with frozen foods may not be available in some areas of TX, NM, AZ, CA, OR, WA, ID, NV, UT, MT, WY, CO, NE, SD, ND, MN. Call us to confirm availability in your area. Our shelf-stable fundraisers can be shipped throughout the United States including AK and HI.

Once you submit the online form your online sales will immediately activate the online store and the ability to raise funds starting now. We will ship each order directly to the supporters. With our online sales, your group will still earn a 40% profit! Frozen foods and some shelf-stable items are not included in Ship to Home orders. When possible, 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 with your brochure sales.
Explain your fundraising goals with your members and set a minimum number of items for each participant to sell. We suggest asking your participants to email 30-40 contacts to purchase directly with the seller and/or share the link to purchase online. With traditional brochure sales, ask your sellers to collect sales by showing the brochure to your co-workers, friends, and family. Supporters can pay your organization by cash or check. You choose. We also provide electronic payment by phone.
At the conclusion of 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 Extravaganza Fundraisers! Order only what you sell!
