The part I like best of all is there is NO DOOR TO DOOR! That always makes me nervous! I hate thinking of all the things that could happen with door to door fundraising. and dealing with the checks and cash? Nightmare!!!

AUGUSTA, Maine – The Butner-Stem Middle School raised $550 by using the sponsorship platform, Pear, for supplies for their first annual Day of Service, an effort to prepare students to be socially prepared to succeed in a global society. Pear, an organization that connects groups in need to national brands willing to sponsor them, has helped thousands of groups just like Butner-Stem throughout the nation get sponsorship dollars toward apparel, donations or even gift cards – all free of charge.

“Fundraising for your child’s soccer team, your students’ field trip or even your high school band can be time-consuming and difficult,” said Jared Golden, Pear’s co-founder. “With Pear, you don’t have to ask anyone for money; you just need their time. It’s a super easy way for groups – like youth groups – to connect with a willing sponsor. From there, it’s an easy and fun process of interacting with the sponsor online to earn dollars. It takes just a few minutes to complete and costs nothing, and has already made an impact for thousands of groups throughout the country.”
Youth group leaders and parents, including any group in support of the K-12 age range in Maine can sign up at www.pearup.com/youthgroups. Once created, groups have 10 days to interact with the brand via the team’s page and harness the power of their community to complete online tasks to earn dollars, including liking their social media pages, signing up for emails, watching a video or completing a survey. The more people who complete those simple online tasks, the more dollars the group earns.
