FastTrack Fundraising Offers Healthy Alternatives to Traditional School Fundraising Efforts

LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Over the past three decades the childhood obesity rate has more
than doubled for preschool children aged 2-5 years and adolescents
aged 12-19 years, and it has more than tripled for children aged 6-11
years (Source: U.S. Department of Health). For years, children have
been school fundraising with chocolate, cheesecake, frozen pizzas ...
and more chocolate. Even with the alarming statistics on childhood
obesity and type 2 diabetes, parent-teacher organizations and coaches
had few alternatives to the constant "obesity fundraising." That is,
until FastTrack Fundraising came along.

FastTrack Fundraising, an online provider of fundraising ideas and
solutions, offers a variety of alternatives to selling fat-laden
chocolate and cheesecake. Among them are the recently launched "CalPak
Healthy Snacks Fundraiser," which contains popular treats such as Chex
Mix and Pepperidge Farms Goldfish. Each snack contains less than 30%
fat, less than 35% sugar, less than 10% saturated fat, and less than
250 calories. One master case contains 66 treats and raises $264. The
CalPak fundraiser is guaranteed to meet any nutrition regulations, so
fundraising leaders can ease their policy worries.

"Now school groups are free to choose from a wide array of
fundraising options. With the California SB12 regulation in effect,
and many other states following suit, groups need fundraising
alternatives more than ever," says Harold Y. Tan, CEO of FastTrack
Fundraising. "We're glad to work with huge brand names to provide a
healthy selection of fundraising ideas to the fundraising leaders."

School fundraising is critical to funding education in schools
nationwide, and has traditionally been dominated by the same
fundraising products year after year. Almost every parent has
experienced their child coming home with several candy bars or
brochures featuring high-priced cheesecake. Now kids and parents can
finally take a break from selling obesity and choose a fundraiser that
won't result in unnecessary health concerns.
