Schools: Trade Cookie Dough for Real Dough

Seattle, WA, November 09, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Today, SCHOOLSAVINGS.com, the largest provider of online school banking programs in the United States, launched a new service that generates income for vital education programs. While school fund raising staples such as selling cookie dough, chocolate bars and donuts raise funds, they don’t provide direct student services. Through SCHOOLSAVINGS.com, however, students make weekly deposits, from school, into their individual savings account while fund raising percolates in the background.

SCHOOLSAVINGS.com has embedded several Free Fundraising Tools in its website that parents and teachers can use to raise funds for their school. One tool provides parents with the opportunity to help support the program by making a contribution when enrolling their child for weekly school banking. Local Businesses and financial institutions that sponsor the program are Featured On Weekly Student Deposit Receipts. Sherry Avena, former Chairman of the Washington State Public Broadcasting Commission and Founder of SCHOOLSAVINGS.com said: “The sponsorship program was designed after the Public Broadcasting model which does not allow advertising but acknowledges a contribution by displaying the sponsor’s logo.”
