Fundraising: Ah, Roma!
Gwen Blumenschein, with the St. Jude Catholic Church Children’s Choir of Denver, Colorado, is leading her choir in fundraising activities for their Christmas week trip to Italy. “The important thing is to run continuous fundraisers, as well as one-time events for the entire course of your tour planning process.” Gwen’s group is unique as many of the families have 3 to 5 members that will be traveling on this tour, which makes fundraising all the more important. They are selling gourmet coffee beans that they were able to private label with their organizations logo. They named their coffee blends “Ah, Roma!”, and are making a 50% profit on each bag sold. So far they are brewing up sales, and a strong intention of being part of everyone’s the daily grind.
