TWO WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR SCHOOLWIDE FUNDRAISER
1. YOU CAN CREATE A SELLER PAGE
From October 1 to October 31, YOU can can 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! You can get started by clicking 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.
Fundraiser will run from October 1-October 31 with Pizza Kit deliveries going out the first week of November.
2. YOU CAN ORDER PIZZAS DIRECTLY FROM THIS LINK
Raise money for Burkholder Middle School by purchasing Little Caesars Pizza Kits! WE know you like pizza, and these pizzas are sooooo good! All you need to do is just click on our school's link, Burkholder Jags, pay with a credit card, and the yummy Kits will be shipped right to your house by FedEx. And it’s the same price to ship 1 or 2 kits, so I’m thinking you might want to get 2 kits or more.
Get ready to make your own pizza at home any way that you want it! WE like ours with extra pepperoni and cheese. Thank you so much for contributing to our school. And feel free to share this link with family and friends so they too can order pizza kits.
