Country Lights

06/18/2026

Yesterday, Darren had the opportunity to present at the IAVAT Conference—and it was a blast!

Participants got to make their own candles while learning creative ways to motivate students and maximize fundraiser success. We also shared how our program helps lighten the load for organizers, making fundraising easier and more profitable.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and joined the fun!

"Sorry, I don't have cash."

That costs your fundraiser sales. Our portal lets supporters order and pay online in minutes. Seamlessly adding them to your order and you never handle payment.

No cash. No checks. No excuses.

Delivery day can quickly turn into a pile of boxes, incorrectly sorted products and confusion.

Sorting fundraiser orders shouldn't take over your entire evening.

Our portal automatically creates pick sheets for every seller with one click. All the information they need on one easy to read document. Automatically.

Less sorting. Less stress. More getting home.

We hear it all the time. "Kids these days just don't want to sell."

Funny how that changes when a leaderboard gets involved. 😏

Our fundraising portal lets sellers track their rank in real time and compete for the top spot. Even sends them notifications when their position slips.

A little competition goes a long way.

Hey Fundraiser Organizers - What if you never had to collect paper order forms or money again?

What if you could see your group's sales in real time—from day one—and know exactly who is selling what?

✔️ Online ordering & payments
✔️ Live sales tracking
✔️ Seller leaderboards
✔️ One-click pick sheets
✔️ Customer order reports

We're curious... if your fundraiser could do all of that, would it make your life easier?

Tell us in the comments.
