Company Background

 

Who We Are

Fundraisers and events are some of the most important events and activities in our lives.  Simply put, we are here to help our customers make their events and fundraisers successful with our products and services which run on our robust SaaS and ecommerce platforms.

Our customers and partners span nonprofits (doing a ton of good on this planet), event organizers (creating the events we remember forever), schools from K through University (a core foundation of everyone’s life), sports teams and leagues (developing that all important competitive drive) and consumers (celebrating their rites of passage, from proms to graduations, to birthdays and bat and bar mitzvahs).

We do this in a friendly, fun, and green way. Habitat conservation is our focus.  For the past several years, we have donated at least 50% of our net income to conservation and habitat protection. Last year, we donated over $100,000 to conservation.  All of our shipments are carbon-neutral. When we grow, our conservation efforts grow and have impact.
