The
groups selling our programs include PTAs/PTOs, scout troops, churches,
school bands and orchestras, choirs, sports organizations, dance
groups, cheerleaders -- the list goes on and on. From time to time,
we like to share success stories from a few of these groups. We
raised money for large schools that raised as much as $5,000 to
small schools which raise much less. We'd love the opportunity to
help your organization and try to add you to our list of satisfied
customers.

Thank you for all you
help with the fundraiser. The suggestions for letters and ideas
for marketing were much appreciated. Our results were great. Parents
responded favorably and we found it to be very rewarding both financially
and in terms of providing our families with a nice variety of nice
music. The recording of the Nutcracker is top notch. I am enjoying
mine and my niece and nephew are enjoying theirs as well. We hope
to work with you again next year. (This preschool sold over $2,800
in music and raised over $1,100 to support their programs)

Music Rewards was a new
and unique addition to our line-up of fundraising offerings this
year. The program was very well received by the preschool families.
Everyone loves music and you sure can't beat the prices that Music
Rewards offers. I was impressed with the ease of running the fundraiser--all
the order forms were provided as well as bags for distributing the
music. Everyone LOVED their free Joe Scruggs tape and finger puppet
too. Our school received excellent customer service and support
from Music Rewards and we look forward to running their program
again next year.

We are so excited that
we found Music Rewards Fundraising. The selection of children's
tapes/CDs is really fantastic and the prices can't be beat. The
quality of the product is outstanding and giving the gift of music
is really wonderful. In addition, people were very excited to have
an alternative to the usual fundraiser's such as wrapping paper
and candy. The feedback I received was excited and appreciative.
Participants were pleasantly surprised at the free gifts they received
just for participating in the fundraiser. I was pleased by the ease
of the tallying and distribution. Music Rewards made everything
easy for us. The level of customer service was amazing. We will
definitely use this program again and again. The best part of it
all was how happy the children were with the music! They now use
the CD's regularly in the classroom. We couldn't be more satisfied
with this program.

The fundraiser went off
very well for our group considering we only took orders a little
less than a week and a half. The Joe Scruggs was a wonderful benefit
to add in. Thank you! The KIDZUP music was quite popular especially
for our organization. We have had people want to order who missed
their opportunity. I'm looking forward to running the same fundraiser
later this year, like you recommended. This time, with more time,
for the holidays.
I sincerely thank you
for your quick turnaround time, it was wonderful to have the orders
shipped on a Friday and arrive on a Monday. Thank you. I know we
will allow more time for the next fundraiser, but really do appreciate
the fact you accommodated our short time frame. All of the
parents and supporters were ecstatic to receive their orders so
promptly. Thank you again for all of your help!

MARY'S SCHOOL - NEW RICHMOND, WI
"I want to thank
Grant Olson and the staff at Music Rewards Fundraising for making
our first attempt at selling music as a fundraiser so easy. We did
not have a lot of planning time but the program is one that virtually
sells itself. I am the Fundraising Coordinator at St. Mary's School
and we decided to try selling cassettes and CDs just before the
Christmas Holiday. As a parochial school we were looking for something
that would be appropriate with our mission and values, we found
that in the music selection that Music Rewards offers. The people
at Music Rewards went out of their way to insure that we were going
to have a successful fundraiser. They offered extra incentives to
get our kids motivated to sell at no cost to our school.
As a first time fundraiser
we found it very profitable, appropriate for family listening and
afforded us the ability to offer quality products at the same time.
I was a little nervous about guaranteeing delivery by the Holiday
due to the uncertainty of the mail during the busy season but Music
Rewards went beyond my expectations and even delivered our product
a week before they had promised with gift bags available, that was
a nice touch!
I would attest that this is a great way to earn money for your group
and does not involve a lot of time to implement. Thanks again to
the staff at Music Rewards for making this a nice experience for
St. Mary's School."

THE MAPLE HILL PRESCHOOL
- CASTLETON, NY
"We used Music Rewards
as our first fundraiser of the school year and were very pleased.
We only have 41 children in our preschool and still earned over
$800 and exceeded our goal (with 25 parents participating). The
parents found the products very easy to sell. We received our shipment
when promised. We will definitely use this fundraiser in the future."

"I just wanted to let you know
that I truly appreciate all that you and your organization have
done for us. You have put together an excellent program and I will
most likely repeat again next year with a few of your suggestions
better implemented. I know that you will take care of this order
promptly and efficiently. Thanks for your organization."
Joe Murphy, Band Director
HOLMES SCHOOL PTA
IN NEW BRITAIN, CT
"I just wanted to write
and let you know how much our PTA liked your fundraising program.
Your product is wonderful, so different from the usual candy and
wrapping paper catalogs. The selection of music has something for
just about everyone, and at $5-$10 per item, everyone can afford
to buy at least one CD or cassette. Even at those great prices,
we still made a good profit! Music lasts forever, unlike candy!
"Your customer service
was excellent. Whenever I had a question or a problem, there was
always a friendly, helpful voice on the other end of the phone.
"Even at a very busy time of year, your turn-around time was excellent.
Your forms are easy to use, which made tallying and delivery a snap.
"Thank you again for
your service. I hope to be working with you again soon."

BOY SCOUT TROOP 219
IN MAPLE LAKE, MN
"I had the privilege
to work directly with Kent Krudwig, Director of Marketing, who was
very helpful to me as I learned the ropes for doing my very first
fundraiser for our Boy Scout Troop. He answered all of my questions,
and it went great!
"I talked with my Troop
on the fundraiser and got the interested boys and Troop approval
to begin. We set up a sales period and I asked for the appropriate
number of sales kits, which came in two days. All questions were
answered in the literature that was sent with each sales kit. Everything
that we would ever need in order to sell was included. As the coordinator,
I got a foolproof step-by-step plan on what to do, so there was
no way I could go wrong or make a mistake.
"When we were all done
selling, I collected the order forms and money and mailed off our
master order. Two days later, I got confirmation that they'd received
my order, and it was shipped the day after that. I received the
order just a week after I mailed the master order form.
"I couldn't have asked
for a better or easier fundraiser to do, and it was so much fun
to work with such professionals. Our Troop plans on doing this fundraiser
again because we enjoyed it very much, and it was very profitable
to us. Thank you very much for letting us work with you and sell
your CDs and cassettes. They are top-notch quality."

MISSION VALLEY CHRISTIAN
ACADEMY IN RONAN, MT
"The Christian Family
program is wonderful! I searched the Internet for a week looking
for a program that would not be offensive in its product or its
sales style. I was extremely pleased to find this one with Music
Rewards.
"Our school did not want
to sell suckers, or candy bars. But when I presented this program
to our board, they approved it within 48 hours. One of the top selling
points was that we got to keep 40% of what we raised, and that our
group was in charge of the money, no waiting for checks. The number
one selling point was that we did not have to send ANY money up
front. Music Rewards paid for all shipping and handling, and even
provided little bags to pass out all of the CDs in, when everything
arrived.
"When we finished and
turned everything in, we were pleasantly surprised that we got our
order back with 4 days of when we faxed our order to them. It was
shipped complete, with no mistakes.
"I would strongly recommend
this program to any Christian school, church youth program or missions
group."
Debbie O'Connor
UNITED STATES TAEKWON-DO
FEDERATION IN BROOMFIELD, CO
"I'm very pleased to
recommend Music Rewards Fundraising to organizations that are seeking
a simple and profitable fundraiser from a reliable and professional
company.
"As Vice President of
the United States Taekwon-Do Federation, I've been a part of many
different types of fundraising projects over the years. This latest
project was among our most important -- we needed to raise a large
amount of money to send our U.S. competitors to the world championships
in Argentina. Music Rewards Fundraising played a key role in our
efforts, and I'm thrilled to say that we raised more than $4,000
total for Taekwon-Do.
"I can honestly say I've
never been involved with a better fundraising company. The Music
Rewards staff was extremely attentive to all of our needs. Because
they put so much effort into making sure everything ran smoothly,
we didn't encounter any of the administrative headaches and hassles
typically associated with fundraising. The sales materials were
very professional and clear, and our CDs and cassettes arrived promptly.
"In addition to overseeing
the project, I also personally sold CDs and cassettes to my friends,
family and associates. I found the selling process extremely simple,
and people were very impressed both with the quality of the music,
and the low cost. I easily sold more than 30 CDs and cassettes with
a very minimal investment of my time.
"I wholeheartedly recommend
Music Rewards Fundraising to anyone that needs to raise significant
amounts of money without a lot of time or trouble. Music Rewards
was a great resource for us, and I will not hesitate to use them
again in the future!"
