Little Caesars Pizza Kit School Fundraiser from October 1-31
Pizza time is coming! Starting October 1 (link already open) and for the next 4 weeks, we are asking YOU to sell Pizza Kits or just buy kits for your family to raise money for Burkholder Middle School. It’s super easy to join the fun and create a family meal together!
To get started click on this link to create your very own Seller page. You can customize your page, upload a video, create an avatar, and watch how many pizza kits you’ve sold to family and friends. You’ll get your own special link to send to your friends and family so they too can buy delicious pizza kits and support our schoolwide fundraiser. Pizza Kits will be delivered directly to their home by FedEx, so send the link to your out of state family and friends, too. You can even post your Seller link on your parents social media pages.
Every kit we sell earns $6 profit and makes an impact. Top sellers at Burkholder will receive prizes.
