TradeGlobal Packaging Volunteers

Volunteer Opprotunity: CIS has been presented with a new and better way to fundraise!  No selling, baking, etc involved.  Just your time:) TradeGlobal is a West Chester packaging company for companies like Avon, Tory Burch, and Puma. They look for volunteers with non-profits/schools to pack boxes for them during the holiday season.  As a volunteer, you would be packing their orders for shipment.  The shift is 7:45am-4pm. TradeGlobal will make a donation between $100-$160 for each person for each shift we can cover.  The maximum amount we can make on this fundraiser is in excess of $25,000. Part of the funds we would raise ($5,500) will be used to finance a glass blowing artist that will spend 2 weeks at CIS teaching the kids the art of glass blowing and giving them the opportunity to contribute to a school project that will be displayed in the front window of the school for many years to come. Sign up for as many spots as you can and sign up your friends, relatives and neighbors too:) This a great and easy way to help raise funds to be used in our own school! The sign-up genius for volunteering is here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f054ba9ac2da5ff2-tradeglobal
