Brian Palmer has been the distributor of World’s Finest Chocolates for southeast Wisconsin for more than 20 years, providing fundraising assistance to a variety of groups.

“We offer an easy way for organizations to raise money for all of their of projects,” Palmer said. “We provide a quality product that is offered for sale at $1 or $2 per bar making it affordable for most people.”

According to Palmer, most fundraisers fail to be as successful as World’s Finest Chocolate because of the high cost of the items the students are required to sell. While the cookie dough, popcorn, and wrapping paper fundraisers may provide useful products, the items can cost up to $25 per item. World’s Finest Chocolate bars are easier to sell than a higher priced items, Palmer said. Most people want to help kids who are doing fundraising for their organizations but may not be willing or able to purchase a $25 item. How it works

“Under normal times we begin by meeting with the person in charge of the fundraiser – the PTA president for school fundraisers, a Scout leader, or the parent in charge of baseball or soccer teams – to work with them on developing a fundraiser program,” said Palmer.

The meeting begins with Palmer explaining how the program works. Because they have been overseeing fundraisers for so many years, the program is based on experience and is well organized. He will go through the steps of how to develop the fund-raising project and the benefits of working with World’s Finest Chocolate to accomplish fundraising goals.

“We offer prizes and rewards for those excelling at selling the candy bars, which keeps the fund raisers motivated,” he said. “We will help decide how many candy bars they need to sell to meet their fundraising goal. We arrange a delivery date, so much of the work is on us not the volunteer parent. When the fundraiser is over, I will arrange pickup of items that need to be returned.”

The school or parent group decides how long they want the fundraiser to last – usually 10 days for short sales to four weeks for longer ones. Often it depends on the amount of money the group hopes to raise.

Schools may be trying to raise funds for such items as computer systems, new playground equipment, art or music supplies or other needs of the school not in the school’s budget. Baseball, basketball and soccer teams are always in need of new uniforms, as well as equipment or funds for transportation to out of town games. Whatever the need for a fundraiser, World’s Finest Chocolate can provide the funds needed when

everyone works together, Palmer said. Logistics changed in 2020

This year, due to the pandemic, the event kickoff will not begin with a full school assembly. In an effort to maintain social distancing, the students will watch a video kickoff in smaller groups. The video will explain the program to the students along with the prizes offered for reaching certain sales levels.

The chocolate bars are packed in a variety pack of up to six different styles. Each box contains 60 bars. They include six dark chocolate bars, 12 caramel bars, 12 almond bars, 12 crisp bars, six milk chocolate bars, and 12 wafer bars. The candy can be delivered with case personalization using the organization’s name, logo, fund raising URL, and even include your school or team colors.

If one or more of these chocolate bar varieties are not what certain groups prefer, they are able create customized chocolate bar cases. Boxes can be customized to contain the bars thought to be most appropriate for the sale.

Working with Palmer, the fundraising coordinator will determine the amount of product needed to meet the fundraising goal. Once that is determined the cases will be shipped to the school. Any unopened boxes can be returned at the end of the fundraiser, but due to the popularity of the
