Virtual Fundraiser - Candy Sales for Little League

My kids are selling candy bars as a Little League fundraiser. You’ve been generous in the past by buying popcorn from their Cub Scout pack, so I figured that maybe some of you would be interested in helping out here as well. The thing is, it’s sort of hard to sell individual candy bars by mail. I think they’d be broken and melted in the mail, not to mention that it’s not very cost effective to pay 50 cents to ship a $1 candy bar.

So here’s the pitch. Instead of shipping off a candy bar to you, I’ll give them to charity. You can help two organizations with a single donation. The candy bars are $1 each. For every dollar you donate, I’ll buy a candy bar and donate it to a local children’s charity in your name. You’ll be helping Little League and bringing joy to some needy children in the Sacramento area.

Update: Some people complained about using PayPal, so you can use Amazon too.

What exactly were they complaining about with regards to PayPal????

Some people aren’t exactly happy with some of PayPal’s past business practices. Others just don’t like the near monopoly status of PayPal. And some people have trouble using PayPal because they live outside the US.
