CANDY IS DANDY FOR FUNDRAISING - REALLY

ASHLAND, Oregon, (March 11, 2009) - The key to successful fundraising in hard times is making an offer that your prospect simply can’t refuse. And if it’s something he or she loves to begin with, the likelihood of success is that much greater. Take candy for instance, really delicious, finely crafted, gourmet candy. What lover of sweets can refuse the joy of great candy, particularly when 40% of the proceeds go directly to the purchaser’s own organization to do good works?

Aunt Sadie’s Candies was established to do just that. Beginning with temple religious school fundraising, Aunt Sadie’s Candies will soon be the preferred fundraising vehicle of many organizations. Bearing the motto, “Aunt Sadies’s Candies - Old World sweets for a new world,” the gourmet line is now available on-line at www.auntsadiescandies.com and will soon be sold by many organizations that use the sweet treats as the route to well-funded educational, cultural and community programs.

Says Aunt Sadie’s Candies co-founder Lee Weisel, Aunt Sadie is the perfect partner. “There are few things that encourage generosity more than great candy,” he said. “Even in these tough times, people don’t give up their candy easily. Aunt Sadie is a beguiling figure of a woman and her candy is simply addictive. I would recommend it to any organization that needs a sure way to fill its coffers.”

The Internet has provided true ease of access to Aunt Sadie’s Candies. Her Web site, www.auntsadiescandies.com, offers organizations the chance to establish an account. Once established, any person who purchases and uses the organization’s I.D., generates 40% of the sale’s proceeds for the organization. “It’s so easy, even guys my age can do it,” Weisel said with a smile.

“So, says Weisel, “if your organization is ready for a change for the better and fundraising is one of your challenges, recruit Aunt Sadie to your cause. She’ll be the best partner you’ve ever loved.”
