There Are Many Benefits To Using Lollipops To Begin A Fundraiser

By Carole S. Hines


When your school, church, or other committee is trying to gather money for one thing or another, selling lollipops is something that you might want to give a bit of thought. Time and time again, it has been proven that bake sales are terrific fund raisers, and there are quite a few different advantages to selecting the world renown candy-on-a-stick over the many other options available.

To begin with, these treats are low in fat, which instantly makes them far healthier than the cakes, cookies, and chocolate bars that are so common in these types of sales. Anyone interested in really jumping on the health angle might like to hear that you can get organic and sugar free versions that taste just as good as the traditional variety.

Anyone who suffers from various allergies, making them wary about the things they consume, may like to know that these treats have no allergens whatsoever. It's really nice for those people who have to look out for snacks filled with nuts and berries and gluten and other things that cause them to break out or swell to have a treat that they can eat and enjoy with ease. Deciding to sell a treat that is considered to be so much healthier than most other alternatives is very smart when there are many parents who take nutrition seriously.

Holding a fundraiser is all about making money to put towards whatever you are organizing, so it makes pretty good sense to sell this particular type of candy, since they are so affordable to obtain in bulk. This can be used advantageously for those participating in fundraisers because you can sell them for many times what they are worth and still offer them at a price that is low enough for anyone, even young children to afford.

When you need to put away a bunch of these candies, you can simply put them in a closet or cabinet, because they don't have to be refrigerated. This is of great benefit to schools and other organization that regularly host fundraisers but may not have a lot of space. You can even keep them stored away for a long time and not have to worry about them spoiling the way a cookie or cake would.

Overall, lollipops are a great choice of treat for fundraising ventures of all type, because they are relatively healthy, easy to store, inexpensive, and loved by almost everyone. There are thousands of different types out there as well, from the ordinary suckers you remember from childhood, to fancy gourmet versions that are created using fresh, organic fruits.
