- Hello,
My name is Linda.I am the Ambassador/Management of Pinkberry, and Fundraising/Events Coordinator for our location, in Pasadena, Studio City, Irvine, Santa Ana and Rancho. I know fundraising is tough for most of us right now, but I believe this is a good one, for those interested.
If any of you have ever had the chance to try Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt, you know it’s great. They, now offer services such as delivery (within' a 2-3 mile radius, minimum of $10, $2 delivery fee), Catering (birthday parties, wedding parties, and etc), and fundraiser (where you can receive 20% back). This is how it works.
If you have an event - car show, school carnival, even big Scouting Event, something that’ll have a lot of people, all they need is a ‘spot’, like an EZ Up size, and an 8 foot table. They bring everything else - yogurt, cups, spoons, napkins, signage, etc. There is no cost to have them show up, but they like at least a 3-6 week notice before your event, so they can schedule.
About 30 days after your event, you’ll get a breakdown of what they sold, along with a check for 20% of the sales from your event. The yogurts sell for $4.00 each, and your Troop/Pack will get 80 cents from each one, so you see the benefit from getting them into the larger events.
This would be great for a BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT!

Sincerely,
Linda Nguyen

- Hello my name is Alyssa Rivas and I went to Fair Ave. I finished a successful year at this school in the year 2007. I love this school. While I was attending the school I felt safe and I knew the teachers where my friends and they would listen to me, and L.A'S BEST was a great place to get home work done. Now because of your help I am in LEADERSHIP and i am 7 grade president here at Sun Valley Middle School!
