StoresWhat Schools say: Testimonials and Endorsements
A letter from Oregon’s Santiam Canyon SD
As the superintendent of the Santiam Canyon School District, I fully support the HelpSchools program. As we all know, schools survive on fundraisers to provide many of our programs. As a small rural school, we really struggle not having several businesses and families to draw from and are reluctant to ask the same ones year after year. The HelpSchools program was very easy to adopt and provided us an opportunity to raise funds from items that families would normally purchase online, rather than the normal car washes, spaghetti feeds, candy sales, or magazine subscription drives. The link to order can be easily placed on your website and allows out of town friends and family members to contribute from a distance. We started the program this year and have gotten checks each month. We are hoping to really push the idea around the holidays and hope it will do even better. If you want an easy way to increase your annual fundraiser dollars, I would encourage you to give them a call. It does work!
John B. Yates, Superintendent
Santiam Canyon School District, Mill City, Oregon
