Hey friends! I wanted to share a fundraiser opportunity with you all. I was looking at a current racer’s blog about their time in the Philippines and she linked a website to an organization called Threads of Hope (threadsofhope.com) These people are missionaries in the Philippines and they work with the locals there. The locals make these beautiful bracelets, necklaces, and anklets. This ministry uses these to put money back into the community. Every penny they make goes back to these people. They offer a fundraiser to help them generate more funds. This is how it works:

*****Using Bracelets to Raise Funds for your Cause:
Do you need to raise funds for your school, youth group, sports team, or some other worthwhile cause? Threads of Hope can provide bracelets, anklets, necklaces and promotional materials at no cost to you! Here is how it works:
You provide us with information concerning the nature of your fundraiser and the target amount you hope to raise.
Upon evaluation and acceptance of your proposal we will require a responsible adult sponsor with references as a contact person.
Threads of Hope, Inc. will ship merchandise and promotional materials to the sponsor upon their request.
Your network of people find creative ways to sell the merchandise (we can offer suggestions that have been very successful in the past).
Upon completion, you send Threads of Hope, Inc. a check equal to 60% of your sales (based on $1.00 for bracelets and anklets and $2.00 for necklaces) and return all unsold merchandise.
It is that simple! There is no financial risk to your organization at all, and 100% of the profits gained for Threads of Hope, Inc. are still directed towards bringing help and hope to families and children at risk in the Philippines! Everyone wins! Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.*****
I have been communicating with a guy and he says they would be more than happy to help out a World Racer! He has met several wr’s through the orphanage there. Up above it says that I would have to send back 60% of what’s made. When he emailed, he said I only had to send back 50% of the profits. He gave a really neat idea for selling them too. He lives in a town (in the states) of about 30,000 and they sell around 2,500 of them 4th of July weekend! That would be profit for me of $1,250! And it doesn’t cost you a dime! Only your time! (that rhymes lol) Anyhow…here is the link to their rundraising page. If you’d like to do it, you need to send them an inquiry through their contact tab at the bottom. Happy fundraising
