Top Fund Raiser For Your Family
The WWASP programs are very unique and offer one of the best cash incentives that a program family could want. How does this sound: ?FREE MONTH IN PROGRAM!? Doesn?t that grab your attention? I suggest that you look at it this way - You can earn thousands of dollars by sharing your heart and experience with others in your community. It is easy to do. You do not need to be a salesperson looking for the ?close?. If you can take a stand, be committed, tell your story of why you placed your child in a program and be willing to give information to those that are looking for you then you can make the referral program the biggest asset in your financial package. Have you developed a list of professional to include: Police, Judges, Probations, Attorneys, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Psychiatric Acute Care Centers, School Counselors, Principals, Youth Activity Directors, Parent Groups, Tough Love Groups, etc. Have you requested copies of some of the marketing material from Teen Help? The Teen Drug Use ? 34 Warning Signs is popular and the first to be taken at meetings. Now take that list of names and addresses and type it out on the computer if possible. Make a form letter and send the letter to each person on the list with two or three flyers. Do it again in one week. Do it again in two weeks. Do it again in two more weeks. Keep doing it over the course of two to three months. Unless your list is going to penguins on Adak Island in Alaska, you will obtain results.
How about creating a ?help my child? campaign at your office or with friends and acquaintances.
Why not create a ?sales? table at a church or social function? Set up a tabletop and offer the Landre story and it?s products as fundraiser items. Success stories have resulted in funds raised in excess of $500 in such a process. The Foundation has products and ideas to help you be successful.
And the list goes on. Be creative yet remember your objective. A number of families have offset their expenses by 25-50% by using the above methods. And, the Foundation is an asset in your process for we have the experience, products and systems in place to make it happen.
Teen Staff Fund
We set out to raise money to start the fund by creating an auction. We did it!
Our result ? over $2,000.00 is available to graduates who wish to apply for reimbursement of up to $250 of their expenses after they have staffed a seminar.
Teens can apply to receive reimbursement for some of their travel expenses. To be eligible for assistance, teens must meet all staffing requirements set forth by the TASKS office. Teens will be eligible for reimbursement of 50% of expenses incurred. The maximum a teen can receive from the fund is $250 per event. Assisting teens beyond their graduation benefits them and everyone who experiences their presence in a seminar!
