Florida School Fundraising Fruit Sale | Wish Farms Berry Fundraiser

Looking for a Fresh Idea for Fundraising?

It is almost back to school time, which means it is almost Wish Farms Florida Strawberry Fundraiser time! Get excited, because you get to share local strawberries with friends and neighbors. Finally, a new fundraiser idea that students, parents and teachers can all feel good about. Don’t guilt your friends and family into buying something they’ll use once and trash. Offer them fresh, healthy, delicious, ripe, juicy (well, you get the picture) Florida strawberries picked at season’s peak.

Did you know that Plant City is the winter strawberry capital of the world? That’s just around the corner! Everyone enjoys a healthy treat, and now you can enjoy it even more knowing that your local school is benefiting. Let’s support our children eating healthier, and local agriculture all in one event.

Now that you are getting as excited as we are about sweet strawberries making their way to your school, let’s talk numbers. Each specialty box contains four (4) pounds of strawberries. The sales price is $20, and the school keeps $8 per box sold…that’s a 40% profit! If just 150 students sell 4 boxes each, the school would make a profit of $4,800. It’s a win win!

How it works:
  • Meet with your volunteer team to schedule your strawberry sale
  • We will provide all the necessary materials for success, even prizes!
  • Create and customize your organization’s fundraising website powered by FarmRaiser
December-January
  • Sell those strawberries! Get excited and have fun with it. Idea: start gathering fun strawberry recipes to do with your own and to suggest to others!
