A Candy and Chocolate Sale

Every parent as Easter Bunny will need sweet treats and you’ll be able to deliver them! See’s Candies offers world famous, hand-packed Easter-themed boxes of assorted chocolates, decadent hand decorated chocolate eggs or classic-flavored lollipops ready to be tucked into the best Easter baskets ever! Friends and family will be happy to support your cause, and you’ll be thrilled as you raise up to 50% in profit with See’s Candies!

The Classic Egg Hunt 

Organize an Easter Egg Hunt at the local park or church, or an indoor location depending on your expected weather. Let everyone know you are hosting the egg hunt as a fundraiser opportunity and what you and you group are planning to use the funds for. Charge a fee for admission, then hide plenty of eggs with varying degrees of difficulty for kids of all ages to find. While you’re at it, why not stuff the eggs with See’s Candies favorites to support your own fundraiser? 

Here are other ways to make your event egg-stra fun and memorable – try adding a:

• Photo op – create your own "photo booth" with an Easter-themed background, a costumed Easter Bunny, spring flowers, Easter photo props, or a beautiful field.
• Craft table – let kids can make bunny ears, paint eggs, or color Easter-themed worksheets.
• Easter hat contest – encourage participants to bring pre-decorated themed hats, or set up a maker station on site with ribbon, paper flowers, beads and baubles from your local craft or thrift store.
• Raffle – give away a prize of an amazing premade Easter basket packed full with boxed See’s Candies hand decorated chocolate eggs
