Rotary Flag Fundraiser Opportunities
The Rotary Flag Lease campaign is in full swing. We are ramping up to have almost 6000 flags across McKinney this year. Rotary clubs and Scouting units have had a tremendous partnership over the years. We are currently looking to bring on MORE units this year to help with their fundraising efforts.
If you are a unit (troop, pack, etc) that could use help with fundraising and has the desire to commit to a flag route this year, we are looking for helpers. Currently I will need help with about 8-10 routes this year, if you know anyone interested?
One flag route typically averages about 65 flags to pass out and return a few days later. We do this 5 times a year. We contribute $3 per flag, per holiday for fundraising. So, a unit could wind up earning around $1,000 per year, per route, as a donation from us.
If you know anyone interested, please send them my way. Hoping to help some folks out this year. Thank you for your time, looking forward to seeing you soon.
