How It Works

This fundraiser has been discontinued.

Why Sunflowers?

Yellow is the color of the Year for 2009. In a time of economic uncertainty and political change, the color authority suggests, this warm yellow represents optimism, hope and reassurance, and is appealing to both genders. Look for it on items from ladies accessories to men's ties to home accents.

Mother's Day Sunflower Gram Idea

Package your sunflowers into a Sunflower gram for extra value! Mothers will love that personal touch.

Things You'll Need:

Vase (optional)
Mother's day card or note
3-4 sunflowers for a bouquet, 1 sunflower for a single flower gram

Instructions

Step 1:

After ordering and receiving your sunflower fundraiser, select sunflowers that are able to hold their heads up with ease. Sunflowers have very heavy blooms, and older flowers will begin to droop on the stalk. You want to find those that stand tall and firm on their stems.

Step 2:

Tie a ribbon near the head of the flower to create an impressive and cheery Mother's Day gift. Group three or four flowers to create a bouquet!

Step 3 (optional):

Choose a tall, slim vase in which to package your gift of sunflowers if you would rather not sell them in a hand-held bouquet. Sunflowers are very top heavy, so make sure any vases you buy can hold the flowers steady (the water in the vase will help to stabilize it somewhat).

Step 4:

Attach a card that mentions the sunflowers with a ribbon to the stem on the bottom of the bouquet or the flower head. You can create a variety of card messages that supporters can choose from. Sell each sunflower gram for $4.00 or each bouquet for $10.00.
