A healthy choice for kids fundraising

Fundraising is a huge part of every school’s extracurricular program. Finding fundraisers that have both quality items and a reasonable profit for the school is hard to do.  While looking through the usual choices of fundraising I could participate in one caught my eye, “Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts 2010 Fruit Sale.” The fruit sale will benefit the instrumental and vocal music programs. My kids have asked my husband and me to sell everything from cakes and pies, pizzas, candy bars, expensive wrapping paper and candles, and bake for bake sales.  Grandparents are so kind and generous, our top purchasers, they never complain.  

Pee Jay’s Fresh Fruit is the name of the organization behind the Healthy Choice for today's fundraising groups. Pee Jay’s sells quality fruits and cheese cakes, which are perfect for the holidays. Not only can parents use the fruits and cheese cakes for entertaining during the holidays, but they can also give them as gifts.  Kids also see that parents value fruits as a precious gift to the person and their body.  Nothing has more value than your health. If you can raise money for your school or local organization by buying fresh fruit why not?

PEE JAY'S FRESH FRUIT offers a full selection of FRESH FLORIDA Varieties: Pineapples,  Washington Apples and Anjou Pears, plus the largest selection of MIX BOXES and Sampler Gift Boxes,  for fundraising - Giving your customers the opportunity to buy just the right variety of fruit their family enjoys most.

A growing body of research shows that fruits and vegetables are critical to promoting good health. To get the amount that's recommended, most people need to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables they currently eat every day.-CDC
