DelTaco & Three Rings Ranch Elementary

 

I love DelTaco.  They are one of my favorite fast food restaurants.  I've always liked them, but I truly fell in love with the a few years ago when I discovered that for some reason their soft tacos are one of the few foods I can keep down when my heart meds make me nauseous. Well now I have even more reason to love them!!! They have a new program: Give Boldly to Schools Night!  (ok. I am assuming it is new, it might not be, but this is the first I've heard of it, so until I'm corrected I'm saying it's new) This is great! Now I can go buy a bunch of the food that I love, AND not feel so guilty about it 'cause it's helping out a local school. (after all helping out a school in need is MUCH more important than my diet. lol)  Plus it's the DelTaco I go to all the time. They even gave me taco wrappers when I made Fondant and Icing Tacos for my friends shower. (See not the only one with a Deltaco obsession)( I know they only gave me 4 its not like they broke the bank or nothing, but it's still pretty cool.)



What can I say she had an obsession with pizza and DelTaco tacos.



Okay so to everyone in the Banning/Beaumont, California area here are the details:

Where:   435 E.4th Street                   or more simply the DelTaco in Beaumont on Beaumont Ave, just   

              Beaumont, Ca                                              past the entrance to the 10.

                                                 or click here to see driving directions from google maps.




Picture from Google maps



When:   April 6th 2011

             From 4pm-8pm



 20% of the net sales go to a local school, which in this case is Three Rings Ranch Elementary.

So whether you know someone at Three Rings Ranch Elementary that you would like to show your support for or you just want to support a local school or you just really want some Deltaco, be sure to come out on the 6th!

Not in the area? Is there a DelTaco near you?  Go check it out. Maybe they are having Give Boldly Nights, the one I frequent had a big sign on the front door couldn't miss it.  No sign, just ask. Maybe they don't have  a school set up to have one yet, in which case, if you know someone from a local school why don't you suggest they go check it out?



Fund-raiser!

San Gorgonio Middle School's Performing Arts Department will be holding a See's Candy Fundraiser from now until April 4th.  All funds go to support the performing arts department and that includes its remaining activities this year. Such as the Spring Musical and the Fine Arts Festival. 

There is no online ordering for this one. (Sorry) But it you live in the Beaumont/Banning California area and are interested in ordering feel free to contact me at aimeelavalle@gmail.com.   I personally am drooling over those gourmet lollipops and can't wait til they get here!

Sungevity

Looking for a way to help out your school and the environment? I just found out about this one from one of my readers, Dustin Bell. (Thanks again!)

 Sungevity , a home solar installer, has set up  a program that helps schools raise money by getting the surrounding communities to go solar.   For every customer that the school refers the school can receive up to $1000.  This program  is currently available in Colorado, Arizona, and most parts of California, but they say on their FAQ page that they are looking to expand to new states in 2011.  This looks like a great program!  Not only does it help the school it also benefits the environment, and helps save the home owner who has the solar panel systems installed money in electric bills. (Something everyone likes) The program can be run at anytime in the school year, as often as the school wants to run it.  Since Sungevity solar products are for homeowners it  helps to involve the whole community not just parents of children in the school.     They also have an option where the school would receive $500 and the homeowner would receive $500. (if helping out the local school and the environment, aren't enough)
If you know of a school or a group that might want to raise money through Sungevity.org, go to their website to enroll.  They will provide the school with all the outreach materials and information they need. Plus, not only to the have their Internet site to answer questions, they also have a 1-800 number that the school can provide to the community.  In my personal opinion, the more ways a program has for people to get their questions answered is always a good thing.  
 They  have a blog were you can find out more information on this program, and others that they are involved in, or click here to go to their FAQ page.




Know of programs or fundraisers that are helping schools and wanna get the word out? Email me at aimeelavalle@gmail.com and let me know!

Cheesecake Fund-raiser!

So I didn't mean to do two back to back, but I just got this other fundraiser over the weekend and it ends the 21st!  
Okay this one there is no way to order online! (sorry)
So it will probably only be of interest to you if you are in the Beaumont or Banning, California area. So if you are interested in ordering be sure to stop by Sundance Elementary School before Friday!!

 

 

Fundraiser!

Hi Everybody!!!  Happy New Year!  And I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
Sorry I haven't been posting all month. Between the holidays and getting sick I was kinda out of it for a bit.  But I'm back! Yay!

So to kick off the new year I have a new fundraiser for you!  It's to help support the art club at San Gorgonio Middle School.

Simply go to Flower Power Fundraising.  Click on the Place order link in the upper right hand corner.  Then it will let you look up the organization. Just type in San Gorgonio Middle School, the city is Beaumont, and state California.  Just click on the link and it takes you to their sales page! It lets you see what their goal is and what they have earned so far. As well as giving you options of sending emails to other people who might be interested and when the fundraiser ends!  (Very cool.)
It ends on April 29th by the way, so be sure to go check it out, and invite any of your green thumbed friends who might be interested in adding some beautiful flowers to their gardens, while supporting a great cause at the same time!

Not sure? Scroll down and check out some of the flowers they are selling (but trust me you wanna take the time to go to the site, they look much better there!) :

Fresh & Easy Shop for Schools Program

Looking for a way to help out your school? Fresh & Easy shopping centers have a Shop for Schools Program. During designated times of the year Fresh & Easy will donate $1 to a participating school for every $20 that you spend in their store.
Right now until December 31st, for every reciept over $20 that you give to one of the schools participating in their program they will give the school $1. The good thing is that it is for every $20 you spend so say for example your reciept is for $40 the school gets $2. So you don't have to shop in $20 increments.  Not sure what schools are participating? Well just click here to check out the list of schools that are currantly participating.
Don't see your school? Well unfortunely the registration for this year ended on October the 1st. However don't let that get you down.  Go to your school and let them know about the program. Contact Fresh & Easy and see when the next program is scheduled to start. That way your school can get prepared for the next time.  Don't have a kid in a local school that's participating? That's ok, still save your receipts and just stop in the office at one of the schools that are participating and drop them off, trust me the school will appreciate it!
Don't want to stop and drop off a receipt but you still shop at your local Fresh & Easy? Fresh & Easy also will be having Shop for Schools Shopping Nights for the schools that are participating in the Shop for Schools program.  Just check with your school for what is the date for their shopping night, shop at Fresh & Easy between 4pm and 8pm on that night, and 5% of the total sales from that time go to school. No need to worry about going to a school at all. 

***Are you a local store or business that is having school nights? or programs to benifit local schools? Let me know I will be happy to post about it. Just email me at aimeelavalle@gmail.com. ***

Looking for a way to earn money for your school?

To PTA/Teachers/People who handle fund raisers, etc:
Burger King in Calimesa California, is looking for schools/school groups that would be interested in partnering with them to hold a School Benefit Night. School benefit nights are a fun and reletively easy way to earn money for your school.  The school contacts the restaurant, set a date, and then spread the word. 
A percent of that nights sales goes to the school. 
Also the night is planned around your school.  Teachers are welcome to come out that night and "help out". Thus giving them a chance to get to know the parents in a non-school setting. Balloons and decorations in the schools colors, as well as other activities.
If you are associated with a school or school group in the Calimesa/Yucaipa area of California and are interested contact Alej Garcia at 951-255-0915.  Or just go into the Calimesa Burger King, located off the 10 exit, off Calimesa Blvd.  You can see the sign from the freeway.

This is for schools in the Calimesa/Yucaipa, California area, however the idea itself is a really good one. If your school isn't in the area of the Calimesa Burger King, why not go see if your local Burger Kings or other restaurants, ice cream shops, etc., are holding school nights.  In the past I know that the local Cold Stone Ice Cream store had hosted one, Pizza Hut does, and Dairy Queen as well.  Even if the store isn't a national chain or for that matter even if they don't have more than one location, that's ok. They still might be willing to host a school night, or some other form of promotion to help raise money for your school or school group.  Remember this benefits them too. They get basically free advertising and good public relations with the local community. If you have a school night or program coming up, let me know. I will gladly post the time and location to help spread the word. Just email me at aimeelavalle@gmail.com.

See's Candy & Jungle Beans Coffee Fundraiser!

So if anyone is interested in anything from that part and lives in the Beaumont/Banning California area please email me at aimeelavalle@gmail.com and I will help get you in contact with someone from the school.(sorry to anyone farther away but I personally don't have the funds to ship anything.)

Fund-raiser!

Ok, I know not everyone can afford to purchase from fundraisers and thats ok. But not everyone is broke. There are two main problems with fundraisers theses days. The first is that kids can no longer go door to door. I know this if for the safety of the children so I support that, but it greatly limits the amount of people that are actually exposed to the fundraisers.  The second is that the prices have gotten flat out ridiculous on some of the fundraisers. Now the later problem I can do nothing about. However the former problem I CAN help with. Fortunetly most fundraisers have realized that students no longer have a large pool of potential clients to pull from. So they have set up web sites that out of state family members and online friends can go to and order from. The items bought are credited to the the school in the students name, and then are shipped directly to the person who bought them. Whoever thought up this idea may I just say thank you.   To my followers if you know of a fundraiser please feel free to leave a comment on a post or email me at aimeelavalle@gmail.com . I will gladly post you're fundraiser information and hopefully it will help bring in more funds for the school you are raising money for. 
That being said here is my first official fund raiser I am going to do that for. This particular fundraiser will benefit  Three Rings Ranch Elementary School in Beaumont, California.  The name of the fundraiser is Kids are First. I have personally been able to look over this fundraiser (it is for my friends daughter) and it is a good one. There are lots of items to choose from and they have decent prices starting at $6. Also on the order form if a person just wants to make a donation they can. I am not sure if this is possible if you order online, but it is definitly a bonus. After all the whole point is to raise funds for a school. That doesn't necessarily mean that the person who is ordering something actually wants what they are ordering.
The fundraiser is running from October 8th, 2010-October 22, 2010. So be sure to check it out!
