Candy bars. Wrapping paper. Sub sandwiches.
Sometimes you are fed up with selling them. Sometimes you are sick of buying them.
Many would prefer to make a straight donation to your student’s school trip instead of purchasing a fundraising item. For those friends and family, it is helpful to craft a donation letter asking for their support. Share this letter at the beginning of the school year, before a birthday, and before other gift giving holidays. The gift of travel is a fantastic present to receive.
