The Bowling Team at Iowa State had tried everything for raising funds: Raffles; Restaurant cards; Pizzas. You name it. “It wasn’t a lot of fun” says Group Leader Brian Stump. “We did a lot of work and not a whole lot of money came back to the group. We never made the kind of money to do what we wanted to do.”

It was time for something new: An easy, and profitable fundraising idea if they were going to start traveling to more tournaments.

A search on the Internet pointed Brian towards CampusFundraiser. Like so many others before him, he was initially attracted to setting up a program with no up-front costs. “If we didn’t sell, we didn’t lose anything” he reasoned.

With a high return potential for relatively small sales, the Family and Friends program had everything the team needed. It was a quick hit, had potential to generate lots of money, and CampusFundraiser’s counselors would stay in constant contact to answer any questions. It was time to get to work. “At first our group members were reluctant” Brian says now “but when they saw how much we could make they decided it would be cool.”

Asked if he considers this experience with CampusFundraiser to have been successful, Brian says “I am planning on doing another fundraiser with them in the spring.” And what plans are there for the money the group has already earned? “We’ll be attending more tournaments, one of them in Las Vegas!”
