This fundraiser
not only supports your unit, but the Tidewater Council goals as well. The programs and camps that are basically free for units
to use, require funds from some where.
Lets compare
the profit from other Fundraising merchandise. You know the ones that you set up on your own, and the unit keeps all the profit
to support its individual needs.
1) Candy
bars: These have a 50% profit. Dollar Bars you make about $.50 per bar. You have to commit to at least one case of four 52 bar carry cases, which is 208 candy
bars, not returnable.
Profit
from 1 tin of 12oz. Caramel equals $3.80 or 7.6 candy bars, 1 box of Microwave popcorn equals $6.84 or 13.68 candy bars, and
1 tin of Mud Puddles equals $7.60 or 15.2 candy bars. If a boy sells one of each
popcorn example, he made a profit equivalent to 36.48 candy bars. Which is not
quite 3/4 of a carry case of Dollar Bars. That is 3 items at a profit of $18.24
compared to 36.48 bars of candy, since you can't sell a half of a bar of candy you are looking at a profit of $18.00 from
the candy.
2) Doughnuts:
This profit depends on how much you sell. Let's say for ease of math $1.00 per
box.
Profit
from 1 tin of 12oz. Caramel equals $3.80 or 3.8 boxes of doughnuts, 1 box of Microwave popcorn equals $6.84 or 6.84 boxes
of doughnuts, 1 tin of Sea Salt Splash equals $7.60 or 7.6 boxes of doughnuts. If
a boy sells one of each popcorn example he made a profit equivalent to 18.24 boxes of doughnuts. That is 3 items compared to 18.24 to make the same profit level.
In addition
to the profit your unit earns from the popcorn sale your boys will be able to earn a patch (@$50.00), and incentive prizes:
a sports item (@$400) a Ring Blaster (@$750), Tides and Admiral Tickets (@ $1,500) a $200 Best Buy gift card (@$3,000)
