Wreath & Evergreen Fundraising Success Stories

“Our youth group has used Sherwood for three years now and we have been very happy with the products and the service. It helps send our kids to camp/conferences,etc. Once this is offered in a new area, you have people talking about it the next season, wondering where to buy it. We remind the kids that while they don't get excited about greenery, the adults they offer it to, DO! All they have to do is show it to people. Sherwood's hardy greens make decorating beautiful and so easy! It's a win-win situation for everyone.”

“For the past several years I have been in charge of fund raising for our Sunday School Class. The Scout Troop my son belonged to sold Sherwood Forest Greenery and I knew that the product was terrific and would sell itself. For the past several years we have been able to contribute a lot of money toward mission projects as a direct result of our successful sales. IT'S EASY!!”

“We used the Sherwood Forest Farms fundraiser last year and had such great success with it we are doing it again this year. Everyone was so impressed with their products that we received so many comments on it and they were so pleased with the cost, while we were pleased with how much money we made. I also called customer service and they were so friendly and helpful in every way! Thank you so much and I recommend you to everyone. You make fundraising a pleasure!!! Thanks again!!”

“Great products, great customer service. Sherwood Forest Farms is an A+ company to work with. We make at least $8000 a year, one year we made $10,000. Our profits go into the general fund to help pay tuition for students. Once our customers order it is really easy, they will order every year after. We have been customers of Sherwood for at least 30 years. We keep a list from every year of people who have purchased evergreens and then when a student graduates, we can keep selling to their customers. Other fundraising products do not compare to the quality of Sherwood evergreens!”

“Our group’s experience with Sherwood is really, really good. We haven’t had any problems and we have been in charge for the last 4 years and the troop has used Sherwood for as long as I can remember. I have always found that whoever answered the phone is most helpful, always willing to find an answer. We send about 90 kids to summer camp and this pays for most of it. We don’t need another fundraiser because Sherwood is profitable enough. It doesn’t take as much leader power either. One person’s time spent on an auction or something is the same amount of time but less return. You just need to find the motivating factor for your group and that will make greenery an easy fundraiser.”

“The local public schools do not have extracurricular activities or sports, so most kids in the area have to go to private institutions for that sort of activity. Our proceeds from fundraising go towards half the cost of each child’s tuition for gymnastics. We have about 3 or 4 major fundraisers every year. The Sherwood greens sale is our most successful fundraiser. We have had several students win the state title in their level. This year several seniors are going to Nationals. This helps pay for those costs.”

“I really encourage every boy to participate heavily in this fundraiser because it is one of our most successful fundraisers. The funds go directly to the boys' personal scout activity accounts to pay for their scouting expenses for trips, camp, jamborees, etc. We have earned more than $5000 a season some years. We have been using Sherwood for as long as we can remember. You guys are just the best. I like to tell everyone I know that is looking for a fundraiser about Sherwood Forest. I hear sometimes people have horror stories about their fundraisers and I always tell them about you guys because we are always happy with you and never have any problems.”

“I must add that over the many years I have chaired our sale, I have never had anything but excellent help from Sherwood’s office. Everyone is so very friendly, helpful, forgiving of my mistakes and just a joy to work with!!.....Thank you all so very much.””

“Sherwood Forest Farms does a wonderful job providing great evergreens and excellent customer service. I have personally been in charge of this fundraiser for 18 years. Sherwood does a great job and I will continue to use their fundraiser. Last year we made $16,000. We use our profits for our Awards Banquets, Military Ball and Special Dining Out Night and to upgrade our computers. As for incentives each student has a $300 quota to meet. After they meet that quota, they receive $1.00 for each wreath they sell and 50 cents for every other product.”

“It is a pleasure to work with Sherwood Forest Farms. Our Parents Club sells the evergreens to help support the school. The customer service is excellent, the color coding of the products makes delivery of the evergreens easy.”
