The Classic Idea: School Fundraiser Candy

Love it or loathe it, there’s no denying that one of the best and most popular school fundraisers out there is candy. Whether it’s to your taste or not, school fundraiser candy helps raise huge amounts of money for schools across the country every single year and has been successful in doing so for decades. It is one of the truly classic school fundraiser ideas, and you’d be well advised to give school fundraiser candy serious consideration when trying to come up with your next fundraising idea at your school.

You probably remember the $1 chocolate bar school fundraiser candy from when you were in school. Can you believe that not only is that fundraiser still around, but the prices haven’t changed? Believe it or not, $1 school fundraiser candy still exists, and at up to 50% profit! There is only a one-case minimum, so even if you have a small group of people, this classic fundraiser can still work well for you.

If you want something from a well-known brand, Hershey’s dose a variety pack at $2 a bar. The bars are larger than the $1 bars, and of course, you have the benefit that people know and trust a name like Hershey’s. It hardly even seems like school fundraiser candy.

If you like the idea of candy in theory, but don’t treasure the idea of loading kids up with fatty snacks, Welch’s Fruit Snacks can be a healthier alternative to chocolate. The Fruit Snacks come in a variety pack and are made with real fruit. They are fat-free, and full of vitamins C, A, and E.

These are just a few of our available packages of school fundraiser candy – if you’d like to see the full range of what we have to offer, check out our school fundraiser candy pages, and start down the road to a fantastically successful school candy fundraiser.
