Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received.
ContestCause.com was started to bring the old-fashioned, door-to-door, fundraising model into the Internet era and help students use the Internet to achieve their fundraising goals.

I am a Mompreneur with two beautiful boys who cringes whenever a fundraising order form comes home in their school bag. My partners and I knew there had to be a better way for PTAs, schools, clubs, groups and organizations to run fundraising programs without catalogs and door-to-door selling and, with products people actually want! We also wanted to remove the burden on fundraising organizers of collecting money and forms, organizing groups and distributing merchandise to supporters.

So, we created ContestCause.com, a new website that enables PTAs, groups, teams, classes or any organization to start their own fundraising t-shirt design contest – for free!

Once a fundraising design contest is created, students, family and friends are invited to create t-shirt designs (using a simple online tool), vote daily for their favorite, and order the winning t-shirt to support the fundraiser.

At the end of the contest, the design with the most votes wins! ContestCause custom makes the winning shirt, ships direct to supporters anywhere in the United States and gives one-third of all shirt sales directly to the fundraiser.

So, not only do you get to fundraise, but you also get a commemorative t-shirt to rally around. It’s a win-win!
