Make the Most of the Season: Holiday Fundraising Ideas

Holiday Fundraising Ideas Throughout the Year

Valentine's Day

We heart this first big fundraising holiday of the year. Terri Lynn has something for every sweet tooth and chocolate lover! Remind your supporters that they can delight their loved ones with Terri Lynn chocolates and candy, while also sharing their love with your organization.

St. Patrick's Day

Turn the luck of the Irish into an extra lucky fundraising day for your group! St. Patrick’s Day is all about fun, which means you can be catchy, creative, or clever with your marketing materials. Think about hosting a Shamrock-themed baking contest with Terri Lynn signature nuts, or sharing your favorite ways to use Terri Lynn snack mixes in a party-sized charcuterie board.

Easter Sunday

Easter comes along right when we’re all ready to shed our winter coats and start gathering together outdoors again. It’s also a great time to rally your community around a common cause. Some fun Easter-themed ideas include Terri Lynn baskets full of signature mixes, or even hosting a community picnic with Terri Lynn treats on the table.

Mother's Day

There are a handful of gifts moms love most on Mother’s day: handmade art, chocolates, and food cooked by loved ones. Terri Lynn can help with the latter two! Mother’s Day is a great time to sell chocolates for gifting to Mom, or promoting premium nuts as the perfect addition to a family-made dinner or dessert (while Mom relaxes with her feet up).

Memorial Day

The kick-off to summer warrants celebrating! This long holiday weekend is a great time to sell snacks, trail mixes, and premium nuts that your supporters can enjoy at their first neighborhood barbecue of the season.

Father's Day

We all know…the way to Dad’s heart is through his stomach. Plan your Father’s Day fundraiser with the snacks and treats dads love (and also love to share with their families and pals). Tip: invite loved ones near and far to support your Father’s Day fundraiser online with your very own fundraising Online Store. Set up is easy, and delivery is hands-free. We’ll take care of shipping orders right to your supporters' front doors. After all, dads love getting packages in the mail, too!

Independence Day

This midsummer celebration is a great time to hop on your supporters’ radar with snacks that pair perfectly with Fourth of July barbeques and picnics. Make fundraising sparks fly with a table at your community center or parade, or set up shop at your local grocery store where everyone’s headed for burger-makings (a bag of Terri Lynn nuts is sure to be the perfect addition to the neighborhood potluck).

Labor Day

Wrap up the summer with a fundraiser all about heading back to school! Terri Lynn mixes make the perfect addition to lunch boxes and sports activities (and snack bowls for parents headed back to work after summer vacations). Think of ways you can involve your school district or local sports venue as partners.

Halloween

Fundraising at Halloween isn’t spooky at all! Get sweet rewards with a fundraiser that focuses on the fun of the season. Bring out your inner kid with a fundraising theme focused on treats, or use the holiday as an opportunity to promote the baking season that lies ahead. Remember, it’s a holiday all about being a good neighbor, so use it as a time to spread the word about your good cause!

Thanksgiving Day

Does your family love pecan pie on Thanksgiving Day? Or sweet potato casserole with candied pecans sprinkled on top? How about pumpkin walnut bread for breakfast? Terri Lynn gourmet nuts blend perfectly with the nostalgia of this food-focused holiday. Consider planning your fundraiser for the weeks ahead of the big day, as your supporters are out and about getting their big shopping trips wrapped up.

Christmas Day

Buddy the Elf said it best - the main food group during the holidays is candy! And it’s no coincidence that Terri Lynn premium snacks and treats fit perfectly into stockings. Plan a holiday-season fundraiser where your supporters can purchase their loved ones’ favorite goodies, and give the gift of Terri Lynn!

New Year’s Eve

While New Year’s resolutions are on everyone’s mind, plan a fundraiser to get them set up with the nuts and healthy mixes they’ll reach for in the coming months. Almonds are full of vitamin E, cashews have heart-healthy fats, and walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. All are great and tasty ingredients for a healthy start to the year!
