Fundraising Teaches Valuable Lessons.

When it comes to fundraising we recognize that the ultimate goal is to raise the dollars that your organization needs. In this difficult economy, it is also important for us to ask, “What are the lessons that we are teaching our kids?”

At the recent National Association for Elementary School Principals (NAESP) Conference, key note speaker General Colin Powell spoke about the importance of educating our kids – not just in reading, writing and arithmetic -- but also about financial responsibility. For over 60 years, World’s Finest Chocolate has been dedicated to helping organizations reach their goals while at the same time helping grow young minds by teaching them about the power of the $1. That is one of the reasons that World’s Finest Chocolate is dedicated to keeping its $1 bar with the 50% profit. By selling our in-hand $1 bars, kids are learning about real commerce – the actual trade of a product – A World’s Finest Chocolate bar -- for $1. They see, feel and understand the exchange of money. The math is simple for them – they earn half of every bar they sell. And when they pool their earnings with their fellow students and raise enough to purchase that coveted playground set, the computers to enrich their minds or the uniforms and supplies required to sustain their extra-curricular activities, they learn exactly what the value of a $1.00 is.

Together, one bar at a time, we will help you reach your fundraising goals!
