Wellness Workx is offering a fundraising program for travel sports teams which is similar in concept to Girl Scout Cookie® fundraising.
The players as well as their families, friends and neighbors (“Supporters”) purchase Wellness products in order to assist the club financially.
The sports club elects to become a Shaklee distributor and receives commission income from products sold to Club’s supporters.

Since travel teams often consist of athletes from a variety of locations, fundraising helps share the financial burden across the team, so that no one person or family is overwhelmed by the costs.
Effective fundraising allows the team to provide a quality experience for all players regardless of their financial situation.
