You just need some help from a partner with proven programs and results. That’s where Terri Lynn Fundraising comes in. We’ve got the tools to lighten your fundraising lift, and help your club meet or exceed your goals without overwhelming your members and volunteers.
Whether you’re part of a school club, sports club, community club, PEO club, or kids club — big or small — read on to learn about our programs and products (and ideas!) to take your fundraiser across the finish line.
10 Product Fundraising Ideas for Clubs
Holiday Pre-Sales
When is it not a great time for snacks and chocolate? Tune into your community’s seasonal cravings with sales before major holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Mother's Day. Our selection of premium nuts, decadent confections, savory snacks and tempting mixes are unlike anything your supporters will find at the local grocery store — and they make fabulous gifts, baking ingredients, and snacks for all ages!
Tip: Check out this year’s holiday ordering deadlines so you can plan your fundraiser in advance, and ensure your orders are delivered on time!
Business Partner Sales
Do your members have connections to local businesses or organizations? Reach out to ask about setting up Terri Lynn product displays during peak snacking times (like afternoon breaks!). You can also ask about displaying flyers in a public area for their customers and staff to see, with a unique QR code or link to your Online Store.
Event Concessions
You might be thinking of hot dogs and popcorn, but concession booths can be a great place to sell Terri Lynn’s packaged nuts and confections, too! Our large 1lb bags means there will be plenty to take home or share with other fans. If you’re part of a sports club, consider sales at games, tournaments, and school athletic events. Let the spectator snacking begin!
Teacher/Coach/Leader Appreciation Sales
Theme your fundraiser around the person (or people) your club counts on. An appreciation sale rallies your community around your neighbors, and you can either promote purchases as gifts for your super star(s), or encourage giving in their name. You can also time your school club fundraiser around Teacher Appreciation Week or back-to-school season, and offer special treats that parents can purchase for teachers.

Student-Parent Competitions
Does your club involve youth? Host an event where kids and parents compete for the most sales! Using our Order Taking or Case programs, you can either have products on hand or fill out sales sheets and take payments for custom orders. Set up the tables side-by-side at a sporting event, farmers market, or community gathering, and see who can attract the most supporters (spoiler alert…it’s probably going to be the kids!).
Recipe Sharing
Who in your club has a famous recipe made perfect with Terri Lynn premium ingredients? Get them to share their family secret! Host an event where you encourage your hungriest supporters to purchase products that can be made into homemade, tasty creations! Our online recipe library is full of inspiration for snack mixes, desserts, and more if you want ideas. Print copies of recipes to pass out to supporters when they purchase ingredients — and remind them that they’re directly benefiting your club.
Community Booths & Bundles
Set up booths at local festivals, craft fairs, and holiday markets. Offer samples and highlight seasonal specialties (like Fancy Pecan Pieces in the fall, or Spicy Party Mix during football season). You can also create special bundle packages that combine popular items like Giant Cashews and Chocolate Covered Cranberries. Offer incentives for club members who sell the most bundles!
Online Store Campaign
Expand your supporter network with a fundraiser that can reach extended family and friends. Our Online Store program is free to use and easy to set up — and allows you to sell our entire catalog of mouthwatering products to out-of-town supporters, 24/7 year-round. We’ll ship orders directly to your supporters, with free shipping on orders $30 and over.

Host a "Sweet Treats Week"
Double down on everything chocolate and sweet! Arrange to sell on-hand chocolates and candy mixes (using our Case program) at your club’s location throughout the week, especially at lunchtimes and afternoon snacking times. Pair with warm drinks like tea or coffee to really set the mood!
Mix-and-Match Gift Creation Station
Set up a station at high-traffic events where supporters can create custom gift packages by selecting different Terri Lynn fundraising products. Charge a premium for personalized service that includes decorative packaging and wrapping (plus a hand-written note of thanks from your club for their support!).
