FLAVORWOOD AND 4-H FUNDRAISING

In almost every community in America, school-related clubs, youth athletic leagues, church groups, not-for-profit agencies, veterans’ organizations, auxiliaries and the like provide needed services to their members and area citizens. These groups rely on the generosity of other citizens for much of their financial resources—resources raised through charitable donations and fundraising events.

In harsh economic times, like those now affecting most communities in the nation, successful fundraising efforts mean the difference  between groups achieving their program objectives or not. 

Like your organization, Flavorwood attempts to contribute to the well-being of the community in which it is located and to those where its products are sold. The manufacturing work force of Flavorwood is comprised entirely of persons with physical and/or mental disabilities. We employ such persons for two reasons: (1) we provide employment opportunities for people who otherwise find it difficult to find rewarding work and (2) Flavorwood gains incredibly productive and reliable employees.

Flavorwood wishes to contribute more than simply making work opportunities available to deserving people. Therefore, we have designed a program that enables community-based organizations to effectively use our products to benefit their fundraising activities. The attached pages briefly outline this program.

Flavorwood is the modern way to bring the flavor of natural wood smoke to the barbecue grill. Designed for use in charcoal or gas grills, Flavorwood is easy-to-use; produces no messy ash residue; requires limited storage space; is convenient to carry; generally can be used more than one time; requires no clean-up time; and, unlike wood chips, does not have to be soaked in water before use. Simply remove the top and side labels; place the can under the grill grate directly on the heat source; and, within a few minutes, the can will produce a steady stream of natural wood smoke for about one hour.

Why should you consider Flavorwood for your fundraising activities?

• It represents a unique alternative to traditional fundraising products like cookies, candy, discount cards or magazines.

• More than 85% of American households own a charcoal or gas grill, creating a large base of potential customers—campers, RV owners, boaters, fisherman and hunters, tailgaters, and backyard cooks—for your members and volunteers to contact

• It’s an ideal gift.

• It yields more dollars per sale to your organization than alternative fundraising products.

• It can be sold year-round.
