2008 ANNUAL CVYO CANDY FUNDRAISER

Save the dates, Thursday March 13th through Thursday April 3rd  for the annual CVYO candy sale fundraiser. Once again, this year we’ll be selling World’s Finest candies including chocolate bars customized for CVYO.

Sharpen your sales skills because this year’s grand prize is very cool.  In addition, top sellers in each of the orchestra’s will receive cash prizes and gift certificates.

Each of the boxes contains fifty (50), $1.00 candies (including chocolate bars, packages of gummy bears, and chocolate covered raisins). There will also be a very limited number of premium chocolate boxes available which contain $2.00 chocolate bars. ($60.00 box) CVYO makes a 50% profit from the sales of each candy sold.

Students are expected to collect the money for each box sold.  We prefer that you keep the cash collected and submit only checks made out to CVYO to equal the $50.00 (or $60.00) cost of each box.  Please be aware that we will be unable to accept any returns of customized or opened boxes. You are responsible for the cost of the box(es) taken by your student.

Boxes will be distributed beginning Thursday March 13th at regular rehearsal times. Remember there is no rehearsal on Thursday March 20th due to the spring school holiday.  The candy sale will continue through Thursday, April 3rdth at which time, all money must be turned in.
