Woodstock’s has a legacy of working with nonprofit groups through sponsorships, partnerships, donations and fundraisers. Over the years we have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to worthy causes. Here are some ways we can help your organization:
Slice Sales
We sell you whole pizzas at reduced rates & you sell slices at retail or higher. Other items also available. Our “Pizza Days” have netted at least $7,000 for participating schools.
Deal Card Sales
We provide your organization with our Deal Cards, which offer substantial savings & you sell them for 100% profit. We can customize the cards with your logo or organization’s name.
In-Store Fundraisers at Woodstock’s
We enjoy doing fundraising events at Woodstock’s with nonprofit groups to give back to the community and university that support us. Our goal is to create mutually-beneficial, successful events that promote and support worthy causes. Fundraiser Request Form
GENERAL INFORMATION
DAYS:
We usually hold fundraisers on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. For large events, we will consider hosting them over a multi-day period.
TIMES:
Single day events are generally held over a three-hour interval, starting at 5:00, 5:30 or 6:00 p.m.
REVIEW PROCESS
Please submit a Fundraiser Request Form, which we ask that you fill out as completely as possible. We’re asking the types of questions that can determine just how successful your proposed event will be. Hopefully, the form may even give you issues to think about prior to your event. Here’s what we’re looking for –
• A legitimate, compelling, non-controversial cause
• Well-thought out plans
• “Decent” participation (a minimum of 80 people participating, or $400 in sales)
• Plenty of lead time
• Effective promotional strategy
• Win-win opportunity for Woodstock’s.
We’ll try to let you know whether we can sponsor your event within two weeks of your request.
HOW THEY TYPICALLY WORK
Woodstock’s totals the amount of sales generated by your fundraiser and gives your organization a check for anywhere from 15% to 25% of that total. It works like this:
up to $500 in sales = 15%
$501-$700 = 20%
Over $700 = 25%
To track sales for your fundraiser, our graphic designer will create a custom flyer for your organization. You print up and distribute these to anyone who would like to participate. Everyone who participates in your fundraiser must turn in a flyer for us to credit their sale to your organization.
If your group has a different fundraising idea, please don’t hesitate to propose it to us.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU AND YOUR GROUP
We need a primary contact person with whom to meet and work out details. We need planning and organization on your group’s end. The success of the fundraiser will depend largely on your group’s ability to promote the event and invite community participation!
A FEW RULES
All participants must turn in a flyer at the time their order is taken to have their sale credited to your fundraiser. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to distribute the flyers to customers either in or entering Woodstock’s (i.e., outside our doors) on the day(s) of your event.
WHAT WOODSTOCK’S WILL PROVIDE
Great pizza and a fun atmosphere, of course. We will
create the flyer for your event. We can work with you to create a special theme in Woodstock’s for your particular event. Depending on the anticipated size and
scope of the event, Woodstock’s may provide:
• Assistance with advertising design
• Joint advertising for your event
• Special banners and/or posters to publicize the event
• Press releases both before and after the event.
RESERVING YOUR EVENT
Woodstock’s receives dozens of requests for fundraisers each year. Plan and ask early! If you have questions, please call Woodstock’s and ask for our Marketing Representative.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR FUNDRAISER SUCCESSFUL:
• Start promoting your event immediately!
• Emphasize what the $$ will be used for (to help someone, support a cause, provide something useful – you get the idea).
• Make lots of copies of the flyers from the template that Woodstock’s provides. Distribute everywhere!
• Ask everyone in your organization to hand out flyers.
• Send press releases to every periodical and media outlet in your area.
• Include the Woodstock’s flyer with any communications you send out.
• Place the information on your organization’s website.
• Let us know if you need a poster template.
• Create an event on Evite.com, facebook and Twitter.
• Send out day-of-the-event reminders.
• Let us know if your anticipated numbers are changing. We’ll adjust our staffing accordingly.
• We wish you all the best as you plan for an outstanding Woodstock’s fundraiser!
