Make the Most of Holiday Fundraising in 2022
We’re taking the question marks out of this year’s biggest fundraising dates.
Throughout the year, holidays are times of celebrations, gatherings, and nostalgia. And food!
Post Date: Jan 6 2022
The new year is a time to reflect, regroup, and plan for a banner fundraising year ahead! Here we are in the first chapter of 2022 - what story will your fundraising group write throughout the year? If you’re looking for inspiration and ideas, the holidays are a great place to start!
Why holidays? Throughout the year, holidays are times of celebrations, gatherings, and nostalgia. And food! Think of Grandma’s Easter rolls, or Mom’s holiday snack table. Food is a gesture of love and community - making your fundraiser with Terri Lynn premium nuts, snack mixes and treats an excellent fit.
We’re taking the question marks out of this year’s holiday planning with calendar dates, order cut-offs, and product recommendations below. We recommend identifying your top fundraising holidays now, marking your calendar, and then starting to plan for a productive 2022 with Terri Lynn!
Valentine's Day

We heart this first big fundraising holiday of the year. Terri Lynn has something for every sweet tooth on everyone’s favorite day of chocolate! Remind your supporters that they can delight their loved ones with Terri Lynn chocolates and candy, while also sharing the love with your organization.

Mother's Day
May 8, 2022
There are a handful of gifts moms love most on Mother’s day: handmade art, chocolates, and food cooked by loved ones. Terri Lynn can help with the latter two! Mother’s Day is a great time to sell chocolates for gifting to Mom, or promoting premium nuts as the perfect addition to a family-made dinner or dessert (while Mom relaxes with her feet up).

Wrap up the summer with a fundraiser all about heading back to school!

New Year’s Eve
December 31, 2022
While New Year’s resolutions are on everyone’s mind, plan a fundraiser to get them set up with the nuts and healthy mixes they’ll reach for in the coming months. Almonds are full of vitamin E, cashews have heart-healthy fats, and apricots are rich in vitamin A. All are great and tasty ingredients for a healthy start to the year!
