FULL-SERVICE FUNDRAISER

Available in California's Greater Sacramento area, northern San Joaquin County, and select Bay Area cities. (Other areas & states click here!)
                                                                                                                            As a former PTA president of an elementary school and middle school, I know just how hard it is to find volunteers to chair each of your events. I also know the value of using their time wisely throughout the year, so they’ll be willing to help you out with those really big projects you have planned. With this in mind, The Silver Platter has designed a program that is quick and easy to run from start to finish!

Step 1 -  Begin by contacting us!
Together we'll set your fundraising timeline, delivery date, choice of pricing, and prize program.  Within our multi-city delivery radius there is FREE delivery and set-up for all orders of 60 cases or more!  For orders of 28-59 cases there is a flat-rate delivery fee of $50 within the City of Sacramento, $75 for the Greater Sacramento area, and $100 for all other areas within our delivery zone.  Orders under 28 cases (8 items per case) will require customer pick-up by appointment at our Sacramento location.

Step 2 -  Receive free fundraising packets via UPS.  

Your collated fundraising packets consist of a cover letter, color flyers, an order form, and an order envelope. Packets will be grouped in sets of 20, but if you provide a list of teachers' names, grades, and number of students in each class, we can group your packets into class sets. Upon request, we can provide large groups with two complete sets of printed reminder notices (3 notices per sheet) that  will be ready for you to slice and distribute. The first notice reminds students to turn in their orders; the second notice reminds families to pick up their orders on delivery day.

Step 3 -  Distribute the fundraising packets.
Your packets will arrive BEFORE your fundraiser is scheduled to begin.  On the start date, place the packets in each teacher's mailbox.  It takes only ONE volunteer to begin a Silver Platter Fundraiser.  

Step 4 -  Check orders for accuracy.
When the sale period has ended, open each order envelope and remove the green order form and the money.  Verify that the correct amount was turned in to cover each order.  Deposit the funds into your group's account.  

Step 5 -  Fax or mail your order forms to us.
Number each green order form in the upper right-hand corner (1, 2, 3, 4...) and then fax them to us.  Once we receive your order forms we'll do the master order tallying.  Via fax you'll receive your invoice and product detail sheet, which itemizes the units sold by flavor, prizes earned, and your profit.  Payment of the invoice is due on delivery (or pick-up of your order) via one check from your organization.  

Step 6 -  Courtesy phone calls to families.
Available upon request for large groups only.  Within 48 hours of delivery our computer can place a phone call to each family who listed their phone number on their order form to remind them to pick up their products.  This is a great way for large groups to ensure all orders are picked up on delivery day.  Any products not picked up will need to be stored by your group for distribution at a later time.

Step 7 -  Order Delivery Day - We assist your volunteers!
Depending on the size of your group and order, you'll need to provide 4-6 ADULT volunteers to pre-pack and distribute all orders.  For orders of 28 cases or more, our delivery driver will set-up the products at your location, provide brown bags, and advise your volunteers on the best way to run the distribution.  However, for all orders of 60 cases or more (8 items per case), one delivery team member will stay to assist your volunteers with pre-packing the individual orders. After the orders are packed, your volunteers will be in charge of the distribution.  Each of your 4-6 volunteers will receive a FREE tub of Chippery Gourmet Cookie Dough.

FREE PRIZES - Individual member/family incentive:            
Available to groups of 15 members or more who are selling for their organization.  One FREE tub of Cookie Dough for every 10 items sold. 

Flavor choice for prizes is made from the selection available on delivery day.

 

We conduct Chippery Gourmet Cookie Dough fundraisers, Pizza fundraisers, Jon Donaire Cheesecake and Eclair fundraisers and Otis Spunkmeyer Pretzel and Brownie fundraisers for organizations such as preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, high school groups, athletic groups, synagogue and church groups, cheerleaders, student councils, PTA / PTO / PTC groups, and various clubs.
