STAT Promo Solutions

“I am a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America Coastal Empire Council located in Savannah, GA.  We are nearing the completion of our first Stat Promo Solutions discount card fundraising program.  This initial fundraiser was limited to our two National Scout Jamboree troop contingents.  During most of the time we have promoted the cards we had 65 Scouts and 8 adults registered for our max contingent size of 72 and 8. Out of those we had 54 Scouts and 7 adults who sold the discount cards.  For this, our initial "camp card" program, 100% of the proceeds are going to the Jamboree contingents. We ordered 10,000 cards and our Jamboree Contingents sold just over 9,000 cards. We kicked off our program on December 5, 2009, with a big day at our local Bass Pro Shops, a couple of Krogers and at two area holiday parades/festivals. To date we have received donations of $45,000 - an average of almost $575 per person, with 10 Scouts and 1 adult over $1,000 each and the highest at $1,775. We are sold on this as an annual fundraiser and cannot wait to see what the entire council can do!”  

"My son Dylan, 7, who just recently went from a Tiger Cub to a Wolf cub received these cards for boy scouts.  I wasn’t quite sure who would was more excited – myself or my husband.  Here’s the story… As the Den leader announced the boy scouts were selling cards as a fundraiser, everyone sat listening.  It was when the Den leader announced what participating stores that were on these cards is where I’ve probably never seen a face so excited in my life (and not even for ESPN or the play off games! ).   “$5/$50 Purchase Publix Store coupon”. Did he just say Publix coupon?! I thought to myself as I look over at my husband.  It was funny to see my husband’s eyes light up and then turn his head to look at me with a great big grin across his face… I think right then he wanted to jump up and get all the cards.  He couldn’t sit still until the boy scouts meeting was over to get his hands on these. This story, to me is a special one in itself.  I have to say when I first started to coupon nearly 2 1/2 years ago, I’d heard the phrases, “Get these coupons off my counter.., ..off my sofa, ..off my bed”  …etc. With no designated area for my addiction , what was I suppose to do?  And where am I suppose to do my coupons??  He didn’t care for what I brought home, what I got for nearly free or even free for that matter and definitely didn’t want to hear my excitement for the deals or the prices that I had paid either.  He just wanted his house to look clean and orderly.  Period.  Fast track to 2 1/2 years later, he is all for it! Although he dares not go to the store with me to spend countless hours and calculating or even do an errand run with just ONE coupon. He’d rather much stay at home and enjoy the savings as I do all the heavy lifting.  And I have to say that with him on board now, it’s something we both enjoy as well as helping other people enjoy the savings too. The great part of it all is he knew the awesome savings that anyone would receive just by shopping at Publix - alone!!  He wanted to share these savings with anyone he could find. Not only is it a savings card but it’s for a great cause – The Boy Scouts of America."
