I’m a new member to Catholic Answers although I listen on the radio all the time. I was doing some research about a fundraising idea I had and was led here to this site, so I decided to write a little, “what do ya’ll think” post? I’m from the South, if it wasn’t apparent.
Anyway, I own a manufacturing/design company that makes Catholic jewelry. I have an idea but I can’t decide if I just think it’s a good idea or is it really? I would like to create a custom medallion representing a school’s name, patron saint, motto, mission, etc and then offer it in a simple piece of jewelry or key chain. I don’t want it to be expensive to sell, so I’m thinking a beaded stretch bracelet with nice stones, not plastic and a nice quality plated custom designed medal, not the inexpensive generic 10 cent medals. I would offer this as a customized fundraiser for Catholic Schools. My company would design 2 or 3 pieces of jewelry or key chain with the retail price of $10, $15 and $20. If we kept it at this pricepoint, I could afford to give 30% of the profit to the school. Without seeing what they would look like, but I promise, they would be nice, do you think this is a good idea or not? I love my Catholic Schools and would love a way to give back. My children have gone to Catholic school all there life. I was widowed with very small children and the tuition assistance from fundraising has always helped my family. I couldn’t have done it without it. I really need some (name removed by moderator)ut from everyday Catholics to tell me if they would buy something like this. I have been praying about my idea and would really appreciate feedback. Thank you and God Bless you and your family.
