And most important of all, happy donors are much more likely to donate again and again!

Could you tell us the website so we may check out the items?

I think I'm confused. If Happy Cat Gifts is giving out gift cards, and the teams keep all the money taken in, then how does Happy Cat Gifts make any money?

Most likely everything on the website is twice as expensive as it should be.

corpralchee why don't you go to website and view the items instead of assuming the worst My wife is trying to help out the FIRST teams to raise money when there isn't much corporate money to go around.

This is Vickie Doenges - the money is split evenly between the team/school and Happy Cat Gifts. Example: If $2000 in gift cards are sold the team/school would get $1000.

I didn't mean to diss it. If I where selling it to a customer I would not tell them that. I was just trying to explain how they most likely did it. I actually DID look at the website first too. Granted it is nothing I would ever buy but after looking at the prices of things I'm guessing that they make money by charging a huge markup.

I'm sure this will be good for some teams, but I have a hard time to get someone to donate $10 let alone go to a website to buy something. Thanks for the suggestion though. I hope it helps many other teams out there.
