Do you or your organization need to raise money this year??
Are you tired of the same old fund raiser items?
Would you like to offer a great new product that really sells?
The Jordan Essential Lotion Bar is a unique item that people love!!
For every $12.00 lotion bar sold your organization makes $4.50!
But from now until the end of February if you sign up for a fundraiser I will add in another .50 cent to make it $5.00 for every bar sold!

That is just my way of giving back to the community!
Ask me about local organizations that raised $300 and $500 in just 2 weeks!
