Use a Spiral Wishing Well for your fund raising events
We are excited to announce that we have a Spiral Wishing Well available for charities in this area. If you have an event coming up, we would be happy to loan our Well to you at no charge. 100% of the revenue is yours to keep.
Spiral Wishing Wells have raised millions of dollars over the years for many organizations around the world, and some of the largest amounts have been raised at one-day or weekend events. The current one-day record is $7,352 at a small school in Canyonville Oregon. Common results are several hundred, or a thousand or more dollars in a day with the Wishing Wells using some of the hints and strategies the manufacturer has developed.
Children (and adults) like to watch coins spin around the vortex-shaped funnel, gaining speed and seeming to defy the laws of gravity as they hug the side-walls without falling over. Steve Divnick, inventor and manufacturer of the devices observes, “Spiral Wishing Wells bring a focus to events, and give the organizers a chance to encourage everyone to bring all the loose coins in their home to the event. There is over $10 billion worth of coins sitting on America’s dressers and under seat cushions. These events get some of that money moving.” You can see pictures and read more about Wells placed around the world, and see movie clips at www.spiralwishingwells.com.
Optionally, you can raise additional amounts by offering the small mini-well toy banks to the attendees "Free for a $25 or greater donation". The Vortx® toys are great for show-and-tell, birthdays, and Christmas gifts for children. We can provide these to you when you pick up your Well (so no upfront risk), and you only have to pay for the ones you move. As a non-profit organization, your cost is $15 each, so you will raise an additional $10 or more for each one. You can read more about the toys on www.spiralwishingwells.com/toy.
As you consider ways to increase your fund raising this year, please let us know if you are interested in borrowing our Well and we will send you some additional information. It will be scheduled on a first-come-first-served basis. Of course, if you want to see it in action, please come by our store. We would love to see you and show you the phenomenon in person.
