Cash & Carry

It’s a simple process of ordering cases of fudge for each child that will be participating.

Mackinac Island Fudge has been a crowd pleaser since it debuted in fundraising in 2015. There’s a sense of nostalgia associated with the clean, fresh air and vacationing in the area! Our fudge is made with real butter, milk, cream, and Dutch chocolate. It’s gluten free, has no high fructose corn syrup, has 0 trans fats and is 100% delicious. At 50% profit each box provides $36.00 profit per case of 24 pieces. With the sale of 32 cases, that would mean $1152 profit for your group! It’s that simple!

Testimonials

“The kick-off went well. We had parents say that kids actually came home talking about how they could help the school instead of talking about what prizes they could get. Having the teachers talk about it helped make it more intimate and meaningful I think.”

Birchview Elementary

“You offer products that are so good – I use them as gifts for special occasions for my family and friends.”

LauraSchool Secretary

“I couldn’t believe she sold a box a day!! Crazy! I have never had a product go that fast and at school.”

Amy Hoffman

“Just wanted to let you know the kick-off went great. The principal was happy, kids seemed excited, and hoping parents will be, too. It was one of my easiest kick-offs since I have been doing this.”

KellySchool Secretary

“Everything went very well. My 9 year old recited almost exactly what Rich said to them at school yesterday. I know if she was listening, they all were! I was in the building until the end of the day and heard continuous chatter about what prizes they were going to win. I even had two very concerned boys ask me if Mr. Rich had more than one of the dome light prizes because they both wanted to win that prize! So happy to be working with you all again this year! Thanks for everything!”
