For 40 years Habilitat has supplied Hawaii with some of the freshest Christmas Trees you can find. In line with our mission of helping people, we offer this fundraising opportunity to Schools, groups and teams on Oahu.

Habilitat is a non-profit 501-(c)3 organization that has been making a difference since 1971. Our fundraising programs go 100% toward a better and safer tomorrow. We offer a way for schools to make money and keep the kids safe, all with very little work for the school.

We don’t want your kids selling Christmas Trees at the local supermarket to strangers. Our program is set up to provide families with a quality product. Our online ordering process allows for a secure transaction and the kids can participate without ever leaving home!

We offer a wide selection of Noble Fir, Douglas Fir and Nordmann Fir Christmas Trees. Kept in refrigerated containers, our trees are handled with the utmost care. Please visit one of our retail lots for customer service you won’t forget and a beautiful tree to help make your Holiday complete.

When you purchase your tree through a local Hawaii school, you can help 2 great organizations at once.

Fundraising Guide

Step by step Guide

First and foremost… A huge part of how your fundraiser will go is determined by how it is “kicked off”. The flyer distribution is incredibly important to the success of the fundraiser. Kids will only be as excited about something as the person who’s presenting it to them is.

Kicking Off

Having their attention is imperative, along with making sure they have instructions on what to do with the order forms. No matter the method, the kids/participants need to be explained the following key points:

What website to order from
When orders are due
What they are raising money for
Who they should be selling to; family & friends….NO STRANGERS!

Next, more than likely you will have a few weeks to sell the trees. Reminders are a must! Announcements, newsletters, bulletin boards, parent teacher night, open school, sporting events, emails and social media are some ways that the school can help remind the kids and the parents to stay on top of their sale. Urge parents or older children to email and use social media to take orders online.

Motivating

Aside from our prize incentives, we highly recommend adding an incentive of your own for the top seller(s). It could be a gift certificate, or even a special privilege type prize (pick an activity, homework pass, etc.). Even if you decide to delegate a few dollars of the incoming profit for a prize, it will be well worth it! Here’s some ideas for free prize incentives:

Movie for top 10 sellers
No Homework Pass
Sit in the teacher’s Desk for a day
Lunch with principal/teacher of choice
Choose music for the class
Best selling class has class outside
Free admission to school event/game

Wrapping Up

So the sale is wrapping up….. Make sure you let everyone know a week before you say the fundraiser is over. Create a sense of urgency. Allow time for late orders….people wait until the last minute! If your orders are due on October 26th, I would suggest wrapping up your sale no later than October 19th.

Closing Out

As soon as the sale is over, you will be provided with a spreadsheet of all sales made, students who sold them and the customer information. You will also be given a profit breakdown showing the total sales and your profit.

Good Luck! We are here to help you every step of the way, so by all means utilize our expertise. Don’t hesitate to give our fundraising team a call at 808-235-3691.

Habilitat will also be sending out a reminder email to all of your customers 🙂
