Custom Calendars for Your Fund Raisers

Are you looking for a new fund raising product? Have you considered selling Customized Photo Calendars?

Customized calendars, using Freeze Frame Publishing's calendar software, may be the perfect solution to meet your group's fund raising goals.

Choose a calendar size. You have four different sizes from which to choose. (Please see our blog post Which Calendar Size to Choose for more information.) Sell advertising. There are several ways to sell advertising: exclusive month sponsorships; shared month sponsorships; day sponsorships, day sponsorships with a note.

Suppose your athletic group wants to raise funds for new uniforms this year. For this scenario we will use the 11" x 17" Centerfold calendar. Team members take 100 orders for their customized calendar. This calendar retails for $18.99. With a 25% group rate discount (See products and pricing page for more information. For orders over 100, please contact us for pricing.) and selling no ads, your group can earn $474.75 towards new uniforms.

Now let's suppose you sell Day Sponsorships for $20. One hundred day sponsorships are sold to parents and local businesses amounting to an additional $2,000 for your team. Perhaps you sell ten Day Sponsorships with a special Note for $25 each. That could generate an additional $250 towards your team uniforms.



Another idea is to sell shared month sponsorships. You determine the number and size of ads to be sold in this manner. Suppose you sell 25 Shared Month Sponsorships at $50 each. That will generate $1250 for your team.


Another idea is to sell Exclusive Month Sponsorships. Suppose you sell five Exclusive Month Sponsorships for $200. That would generate $1,000.

To recap our example:
100 day-sponsors x $ 20 = $2,000
10 day-with-note x $ 25 = $ 250
25 shared-month x $ 50 = $1,250
5 exclusive- month x $200 = $1,000

100 calendars sold (group rate) = $474

Total: $4,974 for your group or organization.

Dam to Dam Community Fundraiser Photo Book

It was a great weekend in Croton. The 3rd Annual Dam-to-Dam Ice Fishing Contest, a fund raising event to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Newaygo County, officially kicked off Friday evening, February 13. And what better way to kick off a dam-to-dam event than with a "Dam She's Hot" contest.

Just Jake, a West Michigan band, warmed the crowd at the Driftwood Bar and Grill, the official Pre-Party site for this year's event. Contestants waited nervously for their chance to win the coveted rights to be crowned the first Dam Queen. In addition to spelling Leinenkugal's correctly, contestants had to give their best impressions of fish being caught.

A queen was crowned. In addition to the sought-after title, our queen also received a plaque, a Leinenkugel's t-shirt, and a fur-lined parka.

Fishing for the biggest catch in several categories took place on all sections of Croton and Hardy Dams on Saturday, February 14. A little food, a little fun, and a few friends made for a perfect Valentine's Day for our participants.








Weigh-in took place at the Walter F. Howarth American Legion on Croton-Hardy Drive. Several fishermen-women-children waited in line with their catches.




First and second place awards were given in the adult and childrens divisions for several fish categories. After the awards, the raffle began. Local businesses and individuals donated many gift certificates and prizes. The raffle was complete with a little drama as emcee Tony Gates, from local radio station WLAV, spilled the tickets. Not to worry, Alex from Hilltop Shopping Center, and Michelle from Croton Bay Trading Post were there to retrieve the tickets.

Every last one of them!




Thank yous go out to WLAV and Leinenkugal's for sponsoring the event, along with the American Legion Post 381, Anderson's Screen Printing and Trophies, Croton Bay Trading Post, Driftwood Bar and Grill, and Hilltop Shopping Center. The Fremont Foundation will again match all monies raised.

Freeze Frame Publishing will once again donate photo books commemorating the event to all major sponsors. For a sneak peak, click here. The official photo book will be printed when all the monies raised have been counted. Watch this space for final details.
