MaggieMoo’s International
Earn $5.00 for your chapter with the sale of an ice cream cake with the MaggieMoo’s Dream Cakes Fund-raiser. And the best part, you don’t have to deliver the cakes! You simply provide the buyer with a voucher to pickup their cake at the local MaggieMoo’s Ice Cream and Treatery anytime within the next year. With a full year to redeem their cake voucher, everyone will have a birthday, anniversary, or family gathering they can celebrate with a MaggieMoo’s Ice Cream Dream Cake. This fund-raiser is a piece of Dream Cake! For additional details, please contact Julie-Ann Reid with MaggieMoo’s at
jreid@nexcenfm.com.
In addition to the Dream Cakes Fund-raiser, MaggieMoo’s can help your chapter earn funds with a Celebrity Scoop Night fund-raiser. Members of your school, FBLA chapter, and/or local celebrities are featured as the “Celebrity Scoopers” and actually serve ice cream to customers. Earn at least 12 percent of the sales from the Celebrity Scoop Night. Visit

Non-Traditional Media provides all of the tools needed to successfully run the following events: a student film festival, a dodgeball tournament, and a charity dance marathon.
Otis Spunkmeyer
Otis Spunkmeyer is providing their scrumptious cookie fund-raiser program for FBLA-PBL. Participating chapters will be provided (on loan) with a free convection oven and the necessary start-up materials. Chapters purchase the cookie dough and then determine their own percentage of profit by the price they charge for their cookies. Otis suggests a price of three for $1.25, which would provide 48-percent profit for the chapter. Otis has a cookie dough offering that will meet the strict nutritional guidelines that are in place in many schools. For complete information call 888.ASK.OTIS (275.6847) and mention that you are with FBLA-PBL.
