Dear Fountain Green Families,

What is Painless Fundraising??? How can I join?? Does it take long?

Painless Fundraising is a simple way to collect money without feeling the pinch on your budget!  You can sign up right on your computer and it only takes a few minutes.

Register with some merchants that you already visit on a daily basis. We receive a % back on those receipts. The more money we receive, the less selling we have to do (wrapping paper, candy bars etc.) Please consider registering for one or more of these programs, they are a great way to raise money without asking you to spend any additional money out of pocket!
