Fundraising for Schools and Organizations
with Here Be Books & Games

Fundraising for Schools and OrganizationsLooking for a healthy fundraising opportunity with the potential to raise lots of money for your school or organization? Instead of selling cookies and candy that will rot your teeth and make you fat, how about selling board games and card games. They'll stimulate your brain and make you smart.

Good board games (designer games) emphasize player interaction and cooperation, stimulate creative and strategic thinking, encourage teamwork, and improve social skills and critical thinking. Plus, they're fun to play. Like sports, which provide repetitive physical exercise to improve physical skills, designer board games and card games provide mental exercise to improve the mind.

Your organization will receive 20% of net sales (not including sales tax). There are no shipping fees to collect, no special surcharges, just the cost of the games ordered, plus applicable SC sales tax.

2011 Fundraising Game Catalog We'll provide full-color catalog/order forms for you to use in your fundraising efforts. Your representative will bring the accumulated order and collected payment to Here Be Books & Games. We'll place the order with our game distributor and notify you when the shipment arrives (usually in just a few days) so you can pick the games up and deliver them to your customers. We'll have your check for the proceeds ready when you pick up the games.

Kick Off Your Fundraiser with a Game Night

We have a large game library that includes many of the games featured in the fundraising catalog. We'd be happy to run a Game Event (at your venue) or even host a Game Night (at our store) to support your fundraiser, free of charge. We'll teach everyone who attends how to play a variety of these entertaining and educational games. Not only will this make for a fun social event, it should increase your fundraising as well.

Educational Materials - Utilizing Games in the Classroom

We've collected a variety of educational materials for using many of the featured games in the classroom. We'd be happy to provide these on CD for you to distribute to your teachers.

We'd be happy to teach your teachers how to play, too!
