SYS Holiday Fundraiser Instructions – 2023

​

​

The Holiday Fundraiser is a major fundraising event during the 2023-24 season. Student tuition covers approximately half of our operating expenses, and the income from this fundraiser is vital to our ability to stay in our budget. The Holiday Fundraiser begins on September 11 and ends on October 30. Wreath orders will be picked up by SYS families on Saturday, November 18 at Custom Strings, 11511 E. Trent and will be delivered to customers during the following week.

 

This is the second year that Sherwood Forest Farms has been the supplier of beautiful fresh, evergreen items. We have a website provided by the company to make it possible for your child to share with friends, family, and teachers the information to purchase their holiday evergreen products online. Parents and family members are also welcomed to help their child promote sales. There will NOT be the collecting or turning in to SYS of cash or checks. The sale will be held online only with credit and debit card payments, paid via PayPal.

​

There are two categories of sales – local distribution items (there are two wreaths in this category) which SYS families will pick and deliver to customers and direct delivery items (eight products in this category) which are mailed directly to the customer. Both categories of evergreen products are featured on our fundraiser website: https://sherwoodfundraiser.com/spokaneyouthsymphony/products

​

Students will get credit for sales made when their customer chooses the student’s name from the drop-down list of names at the bottom of “Your Information” requested at Checkout.  The SYS office will be able to track all sales as they come in and will provide a list of sales to each student before order pick-up day on November 18. Include the student's name on the promotional postcard so your customers know which name to choose while ordering.

​
