That is to say, it's time for the DGN Fine Arts 2018 Fannie May Candy Fundraiser! The program officially kicked off last week and will run through Thursday, October 25th. Fine Arts students should have already received or picked up their sales packets so if you have not seen the order forms and informational materials yet, be sure to ask them about it. Pertinent ordering information can be found HERE (or, if you prefer a mirthful video message, take a look HERE).
The Fannie May Candy sales program is one of three fundraising revenue streams for DGN Fine Arts (the other two being Spirit Wear sales and the Spring Plant Sale) and it is a vital component in reaching our annual goal of $50,000 to support our Fine Arts students and programs. If every Fine Arts student at DGN sold or purchased one box of Pixies, more than $4,000 would be earned toward that targeted number.
A few helpful selling points/ideas:
- Candy makes a great Christmas/Holiday gift - a perfect way to celebrate the season or say "thank you" to someone.
- Orders will be delivered to you the week of November 12th - in time for Thanksgiving gatherings.
- Prices are the same as in store - but NO sales tax.
- Orders will be delivered by the student seller (or proxy) to the customer - no dealing with crowds and waiting in lines.
- Uh, delicious chocolate confections, right?
Additionally, all students who sell candy will receive a candy bar treat. Students who sell $50 or more will have a chance to win one of four $25 gift cards (Starbucks, Chipotle, AMC Theatres or Target - you choose!) - students who sell $100 or more will be entered into the drawing twice.

Thank you very much for your support of DGN Fine Arts. Happy Selling!
