Healthy Fundraising Ideas

Are you looking for a healthy fundraiser as a school fundraiser, church fundraiser, Little League fundraiser, benefit fundraiser or to raise money for your charity?

Well, here's a healthy way to have a fundraiser where everyone will benefit. Instead of selling unhealthy candy and sweets or things that people will buy just to help out and not really benefit from, why not sell online fitness and weight loss club memberships!

Why Promote a Healthy Fundraiser

Team Beachbody Club memberships are great school fundraisers through the Parent Teachers Association, for example, church fundraisers for individual ministries within the church, Little League fundraisers for travel and so forth. These days, everyone needs to lose a little weight and be more fit and healthy, so why not promote a healthy fundraiser and sell three month online fitness club memberships as a way to raise money for your cause.

Healthy Fundraiser Success Story

The Tremont Elementary School PTA in Columbus, Ohio, sold Shaun T's Fit Kids™ Club DVDs for a fundraiser. They've been using the program for indoor recess and after-school latchkey programs. It worked so well that they're going to start selling it at other schools in the district next year. As a result, PTA president/Coach Sara Royer created an opportunity to sell adult fitness programs to parents for even more fundraising!

From Texas, Coach Stephanie Richardson shares how Shaun T's Fit Kids™ Club is helping kids in her area get healthy. "We went to a Vendor Fair for our school district to promote the Shaun T's Fit Kids Club videos as a fundraiser. The reception was tremendous. We've put together a packet to give to the school principals along with a FREE video of Shaun T's Fit Kids Club for the Physical Education teacher to play during class. Texas just passed a new fitness initiative in the schools so this couldn't have come at a better time! The kids LOVE the DVD, too! We are hoping to have a 'Fit Kids Month' where each campus participates. The children will commit to exercising 3 to 4 times a week and make healthy food choices. Those who stick with it will be entered into a drawing. Along with this contest, we are going to have other contests for parents and teachers. We are anxious to start in the fall in several of the schools in our district and neighboring districts. Wouldn't it be great to replace Cookie Dough Sales with Fitness Products?"

What Are Beachbody Independent Coaches?

Beachbody was created by Product Partners, LLC in 1998. According to Entrepreneur Magazine, it is the 69th fastest growing business in America. Everyone whose name you see at left is an experienced and committed Independent Beachbody Fitness and Weight Loss Coach. Our sole mission is to help other people achieve the success that we have achieved with our fitness, weight loss and wellness goals. Our success is due in large part to being members of the Team Beachbody Club, the largest, most effective online fitness club on the Internet. Club membership provided us with all of the resources and tools that we needed to be successful. The coaches at left can also tell you how becoming a fundraising coordinator will help you raise money for your organization, club, church or charity.

What is a Team Beachbody Club Membership?

As we said, the Team Beachbody Club has a myriad of benefits and every single one of us owes our success to the club. The best way for you to see and experience the benefits, however, is to see an actual member site that we use to show interested visitors to our site. All you have to do is go to http://www.teambeachbody.com and use jointheteam@howtobefit.com as the member email and nextstep as the password. Now you can see for yourself what a valuable and effective idea you are promoting and selling.

How Does the Healthy Fundraiser Make Money?

Each three month Team Beachbody Club membership is $38.87. For each membership you sell, you get a 50% commission or $19.44. The person helping your fundraiser gets, in effect a 3 month membership for less than $20.00 and the rest of the "donation" goes to your fundraiser. Donors get fit and you get the money that you need to fund projects, programs, buy supplies and equipment, use for group or team travel expenses, etc.

How Much Does It Cost to Become a Fundraising Coordinator?

There is a one time sign up fee of $39.95 to become a fundraising coordinator and that includes the first month of hosting for your fundraising website. In 30 days, you will be billed again for $14.95, which is your monthly fee for your fundraising website. There are no other costs. As a nonprofit, there is no sign up fee and no web hosting fee!

How Does A Coordinator Promote a Healthy Fundraiser?

Simply ask friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers and anyone interested in supporting your fundraiser to go to your website and click on the link, "Join the Team" (or the blue "Join the Team" logo at the bottom of your page). To see a sample website, where you can see those links, please click here.

During the sign up process with one of the Coach Coordinators at left, you will choose a name for your fundraising website which would probably be the name of the school, ministry, team, etc. For example, if you were working to raise funds for the Hornets Little League team, you might want to use - http://www.teambeachbody.com/hornets (this link won't work obviously).

Once your fundraising site is set up, you can start making $19.44 for every person that signs up. It is as simple as that.

How Do I End a Healthy Fundraiser?

Although the fundraiser can go on indefinitely, you can cancel at any time and you will no longer be billed $14.95 for your fundraising website.
