what did you sell and how much did you sell it for?
We sold them for $20/set plus $5 for optional embroidering.

where did you get your product from and where did you research it?
We ordered discount scrub sets from www.allheart.com ($9.99/set), and people preordered the scrubs, so we knew exactly how many to order.

how did you advertise your product/event and how did you sell it?
We had people preorder their scrubs (we had a bunch of colors to choose from) and we offered optional embroidery.  We sent an order form to the incoming first year students the summer before they began school, suggesting that they buy a few pairs to wear for gross anatomy.  The optional embroidery included their class (e.g. "John Doe, D'10").

how did the fundraiser go and how much did you make?
We sold about 100 scrub sets, and at a $10 profit per set, we raised about $1000!

Suggestions for other chapters

  • A few people wanted to buy different sized tops and bottoms, so we added a $3 charge, since we had to pay more to buy tops and bottoms separately.
