"The Chippery Cookie Dough sale that I ran for our town's mddle school was a huge success. Add it Up Fundraising made the sale fun and easy to do, providing support, promotional materials, and prizes that insured a positive outcome. This is a product that everyone likes, so it is enjoyable to sell. I have had great feedback from parents who have loved the cookies and found that many wanted more tubs of dough as soon as they tried them. I would definitely work with Add It Up Fundraising again because Andrea Gallagher is so helpful and the Chippery Dough product is delicious!" Ruth Fain, Barrington Middle School |
The nursing students of New Hampshire Community Technical College of Laconia needed to raise money for the first annual nursing pinning ceremony. I obtained the phone number of Add It Up Fundraising from a former student of the Berlin program. I called and spoke to Andrea Gallagher who schooled me in fund raising and sent me the necessary materials. The fund raiser was a huge success and customers came back for more. In fact a couple of our customers recognized the name Chippery Cookie Dough and informed me how wonderful your cookie dough was. Andrea Gallagher was so helpful and informative. She treated me with professionalism and yet grace as if I had known her all my life. It was so easy to do, I would recommend this fundraiser to anyone who needed to raise money with the least amount of work and confusion. I have actually recommended this fundraiser to the LPTO at my children's school. Your cookie dough is the best! Andrea Gallagher is easy to work with. She made this experience fun and easy. We actually went back and did another fundraiser with her, and again, it was a success. Thank you for all your hard work. Floraine Place |
| Sakonnet Times, Rhode Island BY JOSH BICKFORD December 11, 2003 Cookies dough amounts to $12K PORTSMOUTH -- Hathaway students like their cookies. What started as a fundraising idea for a new playground turned into around 7,500 pounds of frozen cookie dough. Andrea Gallagher, chair of the Hathaway Parents Association Fundraising Committee, said students at the school sold 2,481 three-pound tubs of cookie dough in a week and a half. "I think with almost all of our fundraisers the maximum raised was $4,000. With this we raised $12,280," Mrs. Gallagher said. "It's just fantastic. "This fundraiser has shown that students and teachers and families want to see new equipment in the playground. Our goal right now is to move forward with a new playground." The current playground is 27 years old and many parents would like to see the school outfitted with a new structure similar to the one at Melville. As that idea gained support, Mrs. Gallagher, who is also a member of the playground committee, started looking into fundraisers the school could use. "After reviewing some fundraising material and doing some research, I had all this information on cookie dough. It was doing well across the country," she said. "It uses prize-winning incentives. The top selling classroom gets to have a cookie party. That seems to do really well." Students returned their order forms after 10 days and Mrs. Gallagher was surprised to see the numbers. She had set a goal of $4,500 and was floored by the $12,000-plus tally. Each three-pound tub of frozen dough cost $11. Forty-five percent of the money went directly to the playground fundraising effort. "I'm just so pleased," she said. "We did this in a week and a half -- We started on November 7 and all money had to be in Tuesday, Nov. 18. It was incredible. Some of the teachers had tears in their eyes when I told them how much money we raised." Mrs. Gallagher, who has three children, including one at Hathaway, said the students deserve the credit in making the event a success. "One child, a third-grader, sold 75 tubs of dough. A fourth-grader sold 76 tubs. It was amazing." The cookie dough, which will be delivered in early December, will be distributed by students and their parents. A great start Portsmouth Schools Superintendent Tim Ryan said that he was very pleased to see the outstanding effort made by all those in conjunction with the cookie dough sale. "I applaud this group's enthusiasm," said Mr. Ryan. "They are tremendously motivated to have best possible facilities for their kids. The current equipment is safe, but dated. The good news is that Hathaway has the best grounds for a new playground. Both Elmhurst and Melville had difficult situations." Mrs. Gallagher and the rest of the playground committee will next contact a consultant for a new playground design. "They need to work with consultant, talk to other schools, and then decide what they want," Mr. Ryan said. "We at the school department will be working with them every step of the way." What's your favorite? Some may be asking how one group of elementary school students could sell more than 2,480 three-pound tubs of frozen cookie dough? A possible answer is selection. Here are the different flavors offered during the fundraiser and how many tubs were sold of each: Chocolate chip -- 344 jbickford@eastbaynewspapers.com Copyright © 2003 East Bay Newspapers.
