Community Fundraisers Savor Success with Popcorn and Cotton Candy Machines
Fundraising groups earn sweet rewards from cotton candy and popcorn machines at this summer's events.
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) June 11, 2007
With school out and the weather heating up, parents are eager for kid-friendly summer activities. Popcorn and cotton candy machines offer a unique way for parents, church groups and nonprofits to channel kids' youthful energy and idle days into winning fundraisers.
According to Benjamin Cohen at Liquidation Connect,
Cotton candy and popcorn machines (http://www. liquidationconnect. com/storefrontprofiles/deluxeSFshop. aspx? sid=1&sfid=91785&c=798310) work well at fundraisers held in conjunction with seasonal events.
"Cotton candy machines, popcorn makers and hot dog grillers are extremely popular at outdoor summer picnics or indoor summer carnivals," said Cohen. "It's a tried and true method to raise funds for youth groups, charity, churches, disease research, sports clubs and more."
According to fundraisinghelp. com, kids do especially well raising money with freshly popped popcorn because it's a treat they like themselves and customers see it as a healthy snack. With a popcorn machine, youth groups can successfully brave high-traffic retail locations, such as Wal-Mart stores and shopping malls.
Organizations that purchase popcorn and cotton candy machines will get a lot of fundraising bang for their buck as the margins are huge. A typical cotton candy cone costs just $0.15 to make but sells for $2-$3. The machines can be used throughout the year at sporting events, bake sales and celebrations to raise money or attract visitors to a booth or special occasion.
Some tips for community fundraisers:
Set fundraiser goals and plan strategies well in advance. Be sure to schedule plenty of volunteers and alternates for each fundraising shift. Motivate kids and parents alike by sharing goals and offering incentives.
Instead of planning another car wash or dunking booth, tempt contributors with something that appeals to their senses. To get more fundraising concession ideas, call 800-657-1668, or visit
