How a cocktail lifted sales by 10%....
and did a lot of good along the way
Redstone: For every Cosmo, Strawberry Doli and Pineapple Upside down drink sold in October, Redstone donated $1.00 to Pay It Forward. It seemed a lot of people wanted in on the sweet deals because sales increased 10% during this promotion. Since they started this promotion, they have raised over $110,000 for our cause!
Other fabulous Fun(draisers) we are proud of!
Datatrend: This local technology services consulting company hosted a bowl-a-thon as a way to raise money for us. It also helped employees feel more engaged with their community and each other.
Mickman Brother's Pink Pumpkin Promenade: What's more exciting than a green house full of pink-pumpkins, a pink Cadillac, a silent auction and an Elvis impersonator? The fact that they raised $12,000 for Pay It Forward.
Take part in the fun(d)
Are you a retailer? Try a "Keep the Change" promotion, where purchases rounded up to the nearest dollar. It'll just end up in the couch anyway. Let us help!
How about a new twist on the BOGO? We call it "Buy One, Give One"- for every second item sold, you simply donate proceeds to Pay It Forward.
Strict dress code in the office? What if employees could pay $10 to wear jeans to work on Friday?

Play for Pink - Get your school involved in the Fun(d)
Designate a game in your schools schedule as a Play for Pink PIFF night.
Teams have raised money through:
* Entrance donations or “pass the hat” at half time
* Raffle tickets sold before and during the big game - for example a prize raffle
or a 50/50 raffle
* A portion of ticket sales and/or concession sales from that game night
* Bake sale during the game
* A half time contest (i.e. a puck toss for hockey or a shoot out for basketball)
make it specific for your sport!
* Bake sale during the game
*Pink T-shirt, bracelet and/or sticker sales before and during the game
* Have a silent auction of items donated by local businesses
* Find a sponsor and have their donation tied into the score of the game
-Basketball example: - If your team scores over 50 points – they will donate
$500 to PIFF
-Hockey example – If your team scores first – they will donate $500 to PIFF
-If your team wins – they will donate $500 to PIFF
* Be creative and come up with your own idea that works for your team
