Mother's Day is coming up soon, so now is the time to start thinking about how to make every mother feel special. And you can raise donations for your group at the same time! Here are a few ideas of retailers with great Mother's Day collections.

We received a wonderful success story from a parent whose son attends the Yo San Ryu Karate School. The popular martial arts and fitness centre in Joliette, that trains its students for Karate competitions, has raised over $12,000 in just over 2 years using FundScrip.

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but an apple for the teacher will always do the trick. Although the exact origins of giving an apple to your teacher is murky, the practice of giving a gift to your teacher has lived on.

The best way to raise money with the FundScrip gift card fundraising program is to change your behaviour to use gift cards instead of other payment methods. To do this effectively you have to plan your purchases in advance. Although it takes a little work up front, the benefits go well beyond raising funds, they also help you save money by forcing you to stick to your budget.
