“12 Months of Flowers” Fundraising Card Program

As a locally owned and family-operated business since 1960, we love having the opportunity to support our

Reno-Sparks community that has supported us for so many years. We’ve developed a great opportunity for

tax-exempt groups to raise money by offering a great product at an exceptional value!

Each bouquet is a $15 value and is available any day and

time that our retail stores are open (with the exception of a

few blackout dates). Each card carries a value of $180, but

is sold for only $40!

How It Works

Your tax exempt group does not have to pay any money

upfront! Your group will estimate how many cards you can

sell—and don’t worry, we can always print more if you sell

out. Your group will sell the fundraising cards for $40 each

Florist, Inc. Your group will be responsible for all cards

printed and must be careful not to lose any cards! Any lost,

missing, or unreturned cards will be deemed as “sold” and

your group will be required to pay $30 per card.
