FUNDRAISING

Bedford Express requires each team member to fundraise money for the team and encourages team members to fundraise for their travel expenses.  We provide a number of opportunities for earning this money.  Please see below for current opportunities:

YEAR ROUND Fundraisers: 

Kroger:  By simply signing up for our team on your rewards card, and shopping at Kroger's, you can earn money for our team.  Details can be found here:  Kroger Rewards   Be careful when selecting our team that you get our team.  There is another team listed as Bedford Robotics, so make sure the one you select has our number or BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL & Bedford Express.

SEASONAL Fundraisers: 

Yankee Candles:  We do 2 Yankee Candle sales.  One in the fall, and one in the winter.  The profit is 40% minus shipping.  The more orders we have, the lower the shipping. we pay.  Our first sale will kick off on Oct. 3 with orders being due on Oct. 24.  Delivery will be in time for Thanksgiving.

Little Casear Pizza Kits:  We do this one jointly with Team 279, Tech Fusion.  Order forms will be available on Saturday and the sale will end in 2 weeks.    We will do this one 2-3 times per year.  Profit is $5 per item sold.

Elder Beerman:  Community Days Booklets.  Each booklet sells for $5.  We keep the entire $5.  We can sign up to sell them in store to incoming customers.  NEW THIS YEAR:  $10 off coupons in the booklet may be used on Super Saver sales!  This is a great opportunity to make 100% profit.    We do one in the fall and one in the winter.

Restaurant days:  We have days where if you eat at a local restaurant they will donate a set amount to the team.

Concessions:  We run concessions at the center and at the tournaments we host.  Last year we made over $3,000 at our FRC concession stand.  This is a big job, and we need many volunteers to make this work.

If you have a fundraising idea, please let me know!  If you would be willing to help with one of the fundraisers, please let me know.
