Our alumnae association did a candy fundraiser with See's Candies. With only a few of us participating (maybe 9 people?) we sold $1800 worth of candy and, as a result, took home $900.
We did the holiday programs fundraiser for Christmas - they also do Valentine's Day and Easter. I think that the Christmas one would be most lucrative as people loved to buy the items for stocking stuffers or for simple gifts for neighbors, their babysitter and so on.
The holiday items were an easy sell, I simply posted the display sheet on the bulletin board at work. At $5 each for a quality brand name product, the items sold themselves. We didn't have to purchase the candy in advance. We actually took the pre-orders, collected the totals and ordered the number of cases we needed.
There are also boxed candy, candybar and lollypop options. I don't *think* you have to be near one of their locations; but, I did notice that there were a few in Georgia.
Here is the link to their website!
