🍁 Fall in Love with Fundraising: Sweet Ideas for Fall Events with Krispy Kreme
The Sweetest Way to Power Your Autumn Fundraiser with Delicious Profits
Crisp mornings, cozy sweaters, and that unmistakable scent of cinnamon in the air – fall is the perfect season for a sweet fundraiser! And this year, Krispy Kreme is making it even sweeter: through October 31st, when your group purchases 50 fundraising products, you’ll get 10 FREE of the same product. That’s more doughnuts to sell, more smiles to share, and more funds for your cause.
Whether you’re planning a school carnival, a sports tailgate, a church harvest festival, or a community trunk-or-treat, Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the ultimate crowd-pleaser that can turn your event into a delicious (and profitable!) success.
🍩 How Krispy Kreme Fundraising Works
Krispy Kreme offers three main fundraising options to fit your group’s needs and schedule:
• Pre-Sale – Take orders ahead of time, collect payment upfront, and then distribute fresh doughnuts on pickup day. A low-risk, easy way to sell only what you need.
• One Day Sale – Purchase dozens at a discounted rate, then set up a table or booth to sell them in person at your event. Perfect for sports games, carnivals, and festivals.
• Digital Dozens – Share a custom link online so supporters can buy Digital Dozens, redeemable for fresh Original Glazed® at participating Krispy Kreme shops nationwide. No storage or handling required!
Whether you want to sell face-to-face or let technology handle the orders, there’s a sweet option for you.
💸 Why Groups Love Krispy Kreme Fundraisers
• High Profit Potential – Earn 40–50% profit per sale.
• Universal Appeal – Doughnuts are loved by all ages, making sales easier.
• Flexible Formats – Sell in person, online, or a combination of both.
• Low Effort, Big Impact – Short prep time, no cooking or crafting needed.
🎡 School Carnivals & Fall Festivals
Why it works: Families are already coming out for games, food, and fun – so why not give them the glaze they crave?
Ideas:
• Set up a “Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice” doughnut booth with seasonal decorations and cozy fall tablecloths.
• Offer a doughnut + hot cider combo for those chilly evenings.
• Pre-sell dozens for parents to take home after the event (perfect for next-morning breakfast).
• Use Digital Dozens for easy pre-orders and pickup.
🏈 Sports Tailgates & Friday Night Lights
Why it works: Hungry fans and supportive parents are ready to snack before kickoff.
Ideas:
• Sell boxes at the entrance for a grab-and-go treat during the game.
• Brand it as your team’s “Victory Glaze” and encourage rival fans to buy, too – every purchase supports your team.
• Offer pre-orders for “Doughnuts at Dawn” to pick up before early Saturday games or tournaments.
• Pair Glazed Dozens with team coffee stands for extra profit.
⛪ Church & Community Events
Why it works: Fellowship and food go hand-in-hand, especially during the fall season of giving.
Ideas:
• Use Krispy Kreme boxes as thank-you gifts for volunteers.
• Host a “Glazed & Grateful” Sunday – doughnuts for donations after service.
• Sell them alongside coffee during Bible study, youth group, or choir practice.
• Consider ongoing Digital Dozens for year-round support.
🎃 Trunk-or-Treats & Halloween Bashes
Why it works: Halloween already revolves around treats – why not add doughnuts to the mix?
Ideas:
• Set up a “Haunted Glaze” station with fun fall packaging.
• Offer mini doughnut decorating kits for kids to create their own spooky snacks.
• Pair doughnut sales with a costume contest for maximum turnout.
• Sell Digital Dozens online to reach friends and family who can’t attend.
💡 Tips for Selling More in Cooler Weather
• Bundle Up the Goodness: Offer doughnuts with coffee, cider, or hot chocolate.
• Tap Into Cozy Vibes: Use plaid tablecloths, string lights, and rustic baskets for display.
• Go Social: Share mouthwatering photos of glazed goodness on your group’s Facebook and Instagram.
• Make It Easy: Use Digital Dozens for contact-free sales or to reach out-of-town supporters.
Krispy Kreme fundraisers aren’t just about raising money – they’re about bringing people together over something everyone loves. With fall’s busy calendar and cozy atmosphere, now is the perfect time to turn your event into a memorable (and tasty!) success.
