5 Beneficial Insect Fundraiser Page 5 Our Fundraisers are Beneficial in every way! Locally owned and operated Run by real entomologists Committed to education The Time is Now! If you sponsor a school-based organization, the time is now to take part in the most unique fundraiser opportunity available. Entomology Solutions is a local company specializing in biological pest control, and for the past six years has been helping commercial agricultural producers and home gardeners transition from using chemical pesticides to safer, natural pest control methods. Committed to the reduction of harmful chemical pesticides, Entomology Solutions is the first local company of its kind. Our success is based on education and access to hands-on experience. The Beneficial Insect Fundraiser is a great way to raise money in the most positive way, and allows children, parents and staff to invest in their own wellbeing in the process. A Fundraiser Unlike Any Other Unlike most fundraisers that sell over-priced goods and unhealthy snacks like cookie dough and candy, the Beneficial Insect Fundraiser promotes ecological sustainability. Sellers and buyers can feel good about helping the local ecosystem by reducing chemical pesticide use, all while raising funds for your worthy cause. The products also give parents and children the chance to enjoy the experience of learning about and using beneficial insects in their home gardens, and to share that knowledge with their friends and family members! Real Results The fundraiser products are competitively priced, and guarantee a 50% profit on all items except the Butterfly Box, which guarantees a 30% profit. Detailed directions are included with each product, and items are ready to be picked up on a prescheduled date (items can be delivered for a fee depending on location). Because many of the products are living creatures, all orders must be placed by the order deadline. Don t miss out on the opportunity to raise money while raising awareness and promoting pest control as Nature intended!
