Many church youth groups plan bake sales to aid their programs, summer camp or mission trips. Everyone likes cookies and cupcakes, so why not have a bake sale? While a bake sale might sound like a good idea, here are 7 reasons why it may not be the best idea. 1. Bake Sale Item Prices – Bake sale items are quintessentially priced rather low. After all, you may only charge so much for a little zippy bag of cookies. Prices in general range from 50 cents to $10 for a cake. So unless they give an extra donation, each person who makes a buy is contributing a very little amount. 2. Impossible Volume – Considering the low price point of items, your church youth group would have to do a lot of baking to come up with sufficient items to generate a good income at the end of the day. With baked goods it’s just not possible. 3. Potential Funds Raised -Unless you only need to raise $100 or less your group is not likely to reach it’s goal with a bake sale. Why would you spend so much crusade on something that formulates so little results? 4. Too Much Work – Anyone who’s ever baked items for a sale (and I have) knows how much work it is. It may take all afternoon to bake a few dozen cookies and cupcakes. At best your hard work will fetch the establishment $10-20. Was it in truth worth it? 5. Perishable Foods – Baked goods need to be sold the day of the sale. If bad weather, a low crowd or something else thwarts the bake sale, you can’t save them for later. 6. Too Many Fundraisers -Because bake sales generate such a low amount of income for the group, it becomes just one more fundraiser persons are asked to participate in. After awhile even people who help your group will get tired of being asked. 7. Divides Your Efforts – Because your church youth group is spending time on the bake sale, it is taking time away from fundraisers that could be more profitable. Why not focus all of your attempts on one or two fundraisers that will create much more results? Instead of wasting time with a bake sale, find a fundraiser that is the best match for your church youth group. An effective fundraiser is likeable to a wide majority of your supporters, brings in the most amount of cash equated to the effort and doesn’t cost more than is appropriate. There are a potpourri of great fundraising ideas… bake sales are just not one of them! Most helpful customer reviews 18 of 19 people found the following review helpful. This book was written by Gretchen Holt Witt, the mom of a preschool aged boy diagnosed with cancer (specifically neuroblastoma) in February 2007. As she and her husband absorbed the many grim realities associated with their son’s illness, Gretchen was shocked to learn that the terrifying survival rate was directly related to how little money was allocated to research by the government and drug companies, despite the fact that pediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 18. So while Gretchen was guiding Liam through surgeries, chemo and radiation, she was hatching a plan to hold a bake sale to raise money to fund pediatric cancer research. She and a small army of 250 volunteers baked 96,000 cookies in a borrowed space. Dozens of other families whose children were also battling neuroblastoma took orders from relatives, friends and neighbors. All 96,000 were sold, packed and shipped within three weeks, and the event raised over $400,000. Soon, it became clear that something bigger than one bake sale had begun. Requests for cookies continued to pour in. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer was the result, an organization founded to do fundraising and funnel money directly to doctors doing cutting-edge work developing new, improved cancer therapies specifically for children. The concept is simple yet sweet: Hold a local bake sale on behalf of Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. This book is a treasure trove of easy-to-follow crowd pleasers, from cookies and cupcakes to brownies and blondies, with some other treats for good measure. Scattered among the recipes and gorgeous photographs you’ll find snapshots and real-world advice from people around the country who have held bake sales. Tips abound about how to choose a great location, pricing, you name it–with this book in hand, you can become part of the movement for kids with cancer to receive age-appropriate, curative therapies so they can go on to lead normal lives. Though his cancer-ravaged body is gone, Liam Witt’s generous spirit lives on every time somebody buys a treat at a Cookies for Kids’ Cancer bake sale. Help his adoring mother fulfill what is now her life’s mission by ordering this book. Then hold a bake sale. Be part of the solution–all author proceeds go to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. |
