Best Elementary School Fundraiser Idea
Elementary School Fundraiser Success Stories – This Works!
Read below to see the proof that our Reach for the Stars elementary school fundraiser idea really does work. Our elementary school fundraiser is a read-a-thon which works just like a “Breast Cancer Walk” but instead of walking, the children collect pledges and read.
While the main goal should be for the children to establish good reading habits, both the organization and the children benefit which makes this the best Elementary School Fundraiser Idea the children receive books and the organization will receive their choice of books or cash.
Are you tired of elementary school fundraisers that feel like you are just overpaying for wrapping paper, popcorn, cookie dough etc.?
Our books are not overpriced and contain educational text, finely binded with high quality paper.
Are you tired of your child saying they want to collect a huge sum of money so they can try and win the top prize or a smaller prize that might be a trinket you will find forgotten under their dresser next week?
Our elementary school fundraier gives the children books. Every child will receive a book for participating. If you have lower income families in your school, their children can receive books with just a small family contribution. Everyone takes something home!
Is it hard for your students to “sell” your fundraiser products?
Try our elementary school fundraiser where the student keeps up to 70% of the amount collected. See how much more generous people can be when they know they are contributing not just to the school but the literacy of the student!
Do you need a Reading Incentive Program to motivate yourelementary school students to read?
Try our program that encourages reading and rewards with books and what do you think the children will do with the books? READ THEM!

Our first Reach for the Stars!!
Reviewer from an Elementary School Fundraiser in MN
Event raised $10,281 in pledges – with 192 students participating! So, $6,169 worth of books was given to the library, and $5,140 worth of books
was given back to the participating students! It didn’t cost the school a dime, and the students are reading! Now that’s a WIN-WIN situation!”.
Every year since then we have increased the
level of participation.
