We're Going to Sundance!

Well, technically we're not going, the book is going. The wonderful and talented Rachel Hulan of Path Design won a bid to design the Eco-Pavilion at the Sundance Film Festival this week after she did so well with the Green Room at the Teen Choice Awards. She generously offered to place myGreenSpark books in the celebrity swag bags that will be given out to visitors there, and of course we jumped at the chance. Stay tuned for pix of Leonardo DiCaprio posing with a book (wait, I dreamt that)!

Raising Funds the Green way.

Our Green fundraiser is currently in high gear as many schools, clubs, churches, temples and non-profits are painlessly raising money by selling the myGreenSpark Redemption Book - the first ever Green Coupon Book for Southern California. If you are aren't doing this fundraiser yet, it's time to offer your supporters an easy way to help in their New Years Resolution to live Greener.

This week Treehugger.com reported that 48% of Americans have this exact resolution. We think this must be closer to 60% or 70% here in Southern California. Our book and our fundraiser helps people Go Green. Why not offer your supporters a service to meet their goals, while raising funds for your school or organization?


Just get in touch with us and we'll come out and meet you, bring you a book to see and get you setup to do the fundraiser in no time at all. See the image below to find out why we think we've developed a great fundraiser.

For National customers outside of SoCal, we will have a Green Coupon Book for you to raise money with by the end of February. It's a coupon book filled with coupons that are redeemable over the Internet, so anyone anywhere can enjoy going green with a discount!

We hope to hear from you soon.

Green Ambassadors and Fundraising Green Team Up to Raise Money for Environmental Youth Programs

Green Ambassadors, a project of Environmental Charter High School, is an environmental education program that empowers youth to become agents of change in their communities and the world. The goals of the program include: Educating and motivating youth, inspiring them to set a "Green" example through open idea exchange and social action; To create a learning environment that will inspire new thought, helping young people to develop confidence in themselves, their fellow students and in their future; To create "Green Ambassadors" for local communities and the world, inspiring hope within us all for a just, sustainable and peaceful planet.

Fundraising Green is the official fundraising partner of Green Ambassadors. Both organizations have teamed together to raise awareness and funds for a Green future. By selling the first ever Green Coupon Book for Southern California, the myGreenSpark Redemption Book, Green Ambassadors is raising money for their programs while raising the awareness of consumers regarding Conscious Consumerism. Both organizations know that until consumers Buy Green, our society won’t Be Green.

The myGreenSpark Redemption Book sells for $30 and is shipped directly to supporters in an eco-friendly envelope. Schools, Clubs, Churches, Temples and Organizations like Green Ambassadors that sell the book for a fundraiser receive $15 per book sold. On top of this, Fundraising Green donates another 10% of their Los Angeles-based revenue to Green Ambassadors to not only help the organization pursue its goals, but to prove to the business community that a for-profit company can run on a sustainable business model that includes donating a significant portion of their revenue to a good cause.
