Tips & Ideas for a successful boy scouts Christmas Wreath Fundraiser
Assemble a Fundraising Team
Form a Fundraising Committee of motivated parents to work with you to drive the success of your fundraiser. ‘Many hands make light work’ – and with 3-4 other volunteer leaders, it’ll be easier to connect with your student families.
Establish a Fundraising Goal
How much money does your school need to earn? After you make this determination, consider setting small goals for each meeting and rewarding the efforts of these students with a small prize. We find many youth groups like to do something inexpensive such as a candy bar.
A Helping Hand
Mickman Brothers’ professional Fundraising Coaches are here to help you through the fundraising process from start to finish! Your dedicated Fundraising Coach will be part of your fundraising team and available throughout the fundraising season to assist your students every step of the way.
Fundraising Tools
FREE sales brochures and social media tools are available to assist you and your students to maximize their efforts. Our full-color and high-quality sales brochures are excellent tools and we have a range of brochures available tailored to your fundraising needs. Our social media tools have been developed for easy use and are effective in promoting sales via our Online Fundraiser at www.GiftItForward.com.
No Risk
Payments to Mickman Brothers are not due until after your students' fundraiser is complete. Earnings from your Online Fundraiser are processed after your fundraiser.
Reforestation Efforts
Our Million Tree Planting Project, initiated in 2007, has resulted in the planting of over 800,000 evergreen tree seedlings in 49 States. When you choose Mickman Brothers for your Christmas Wreath Fundraiser, your students will also be assisting us as we strive to achieve our Million Tree Planting Program goal.

Benefits of Mickman Brothers Fundraisers for Schools & School Groups
Promote your Christmas Wreath Fundraiser Electronically
Most schools communicate with the families of their students electronically via emails, Facebook and other social media platforms. GiftltForward is the perfect tool to use to raise funds with very little effort.
Using your schools unique Fundraising Code (same as your Customer ID), the electronic messages you send will encourage the families of your students to purchase Holiday Evergreens for themselves AND for use as Christmas Gifts to their local and out of town friends and family members.
For a school with 500 students/families, if each family purchases even one product for themselves, your school will earn 500 x $8.00 profit for each item - or $3,000. Imagine the profits if you sell 1,500+ items via GiftItForward this fall. Your profits earned with little effort will be $12,000 or more!
All your school needs to do is to electronically encourage the families of your students to support your school's fundraiser to purchase evergreens to decorate their homes for The Holiday.
Sales Tools
Mickman Brothers has many 'out of the box' email and Facebook examples that you may use to promote your Fundraiser. Your personal Fundraising Coach will work with you to use professionally developed messages you can push out multiple times from early fall through early December -just when everyone is looking for the perfect Holiday Gift to complete their Christmas Shopping List for The Holidays!
We supply Posters for you to post in your school. These Posters will be seen by all your families when they visit the school for events and student conferences. Each Poster displays a QR Code which will bring them directly to GiftltForward so they can begin ordering!
Using our Traditional Fundraiser
With the Traditional Fundraiser, you establish your own profits for each item; we suggest from $6 - $10 profit each. Typically, the costs for the Holiday Evergreens using the Traditional Program are less because of the efficiencies of 'bulk' shipping vs. individually shipping products using our Online Fundraiser.
Most of our school customers sell hundreds, if not thousands of products using our Traditional Program. Ask your Fundraising Coach for the multiple ways your school can promote sales this Fall utilizing this Program.
High School Band Fundraising Success Story
“I have worked as a Co-Chair of the Mickman Wreath Fundraiser for the last 3 years. It’s one of the biggest opportunities for the students involved in the Dunmore High School Marching Band to add money to their student accounts, which allow them to use money towards necessary clothing like band T-shirts and gloves, and even things like trip payments.
This year, 70 of our band students were able to have a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to Nashville, TN and play in front of the Country Music Hall of Fame. In addition to their concert, they were able to tour the Ryman Auditorium, the Hermitage House, take a riverboat cruise, and have a fun day at Dollywood. Through fundraising, selling Mickman holiday wreaths, students were able to make a total profit of just over $1,000.
Our community has been generous to support our students by purchasing wreaths. We use social media to pump up the upcoming holiday season and frequent posting of the opportunity to purchase through any of the band students. We have many repeat customers that feel this is one thing checked off their holiday to-do list. They know the DHS Music Boosters will deliver their beautiful holiday wreath.
DHS Marching Band will be attending a Broadway play in New York City in the Spring of 2018 and another trip to march down Main St USA in Disney in the Spring of 2019!”
