Start Your Fundraiser...

Go to our convenient Sign Up Form on this website, pick your Run Dates, fill out the form, and click "Submit." You'll receive an email confirmation. We'll get you signed up on our end, and send your Start-up Packet which includes enough order forms for your entire group, posters for your facility, and a print out of everything you will need to do.

You will also want to download our Start-up Parent Letter to send out effective communication.

Before you kick off your fundraiser, you may want to let people know what they'll be purchasing. Butter Braid® Frozen Pastries are still relatively new to this area, and our Classic Breaks™ Frozen Cookie Dough is outstanding! We have a great Sample Bundle Program. So, check it out!


Kick Off Your Fundraiser...

Plan on having an enthusiastic presentation to build excitement for your fundraiser. Your kick-off event may offer a perfect opportunity to utilize some fresh-baked samples to build excitement. Clearly communicate your goals, the Run Dates, and when the participants should turn in their money and orders. If you'd like, speak with your All Star Fundraising Coach about having us come coordinate a kick-off event with you.

Pass out the order forms along with the personalized Start-up Parent Letter you downloaded from our website, and get started with the selling!


Promoting Your Fundraiser...

You should take advantage of any and every means to effectively communicate your fundraiser to the public. Hang your posters, provided in the Start-up Packet, in high traffic areas of your facility.

Announce your fundraiser through emails, newsletters, your website, and/or phone trees. You may even want to check out any community forums, radio stations, newspapers, or other media outlets for cost efficient advertising.


Half-way Through Your Fundraiser...

Download and personalize our Mid-Sale Parent Letter. Often participants only sell on the first couple of days and the last couple of days of a fundraiser. This letter offers a reminder to get out and sale to help meet the goals of your organization.


Reaching the End of Your Fundraiser...

Let your parents know the fundraiser is winding down by downloading and printing our Deadline Parent Letter. All money should be collected on or before the End Date, which is usually the Wednesday before your order is due to us according to the Run Dates you selected. You will have a couple of days before your order is due to collect any late orders. Remember, good communication goes a long way to making sure your group stays on track, so please use the letters we provide or whatever other means you have designed.


Ordering Your Product...

Our Order Days are always on the Friday after your fundraiser ends. The Run Date you selected has an Order Day connected to it. We need your order by 3:00PM on that Friday to ensure you receive your product within the next ten (10) business days.

You will need to use our convenient, easy-to-use Order Calculator to place your order with us. Simply download the Order Calculator from the Tools section of this website. Then, input the totals from the bottom of each Order Guide along with the students name and teach (if applicable). Once you've input your order, simply attach the spreadsheet to an email and send it to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .


Delivering Your Product...

Once you turn in your order, we will call within a few days to set up your delivery. We will deliver your product within 10 Business days. The only exception may be the final Thanksgiving Sale. We will deliver within 15 Business days for that sale due to our volume during that time of year.

Once we set your delivery day and time, you should download our Delivery Parent Letter to send out to your parents. It will be VERY important for parents to pick their order up in a timely manner. Remember, our products are frozen; however, our products can stay at room temperature for up to four (4) hours and still be refrozen. If you need additional help with a contingency plan for orders not picked up, please discuss it with your Fundraising Coach.

On delivery day, you should bring ONLY your original order forms. Please have three to five tables set up (depending on the size of your order) and a few volunteers if necessary. We will bring your products into your facility and stack them according to flavor. We will then take your original order forms and separate your order for you. For larger orders, we will work along with your volunteers in this process. If you have questions, please discuss this process with your Fundraising Coach.

Once all of your orders are pulled and correct, you will receive your final hard copy invoice and your All Star Fundraising Coach will take your payment in full. If you need to pre-cut a check, we can email you an invoice or your total ahead of time.


Always remember, we are here to serve your fundraising needs by "Helping you, help yourself." If you have any questions, or concerns, don't hesitate to call or email at any time. We have many years of fundraising experience and will leverage that experience to help solve any issues you may have along the way.
