Fundraiser and more
Schwan’s Fundraiser
The Schwan’s truck will be in front of the Briggs Public Library on Tuesday, June 18th from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. to assist the library in raising funds for the purchase of materials. Up to 20% of the funds taken in from the fundraiser will be donated to the Library.
There are four ways you can participate in the fundraiser:
1. Purchase items the day of the event.
2. Pick up a paper order form from the Library, select items you wish to purchase and turn it back into the Library by Tuesday June 11th. Items will be delivered to the Library the day of the event and payment can be made at that time.
3. Reserve products online for pick up at the Library the day of the event. Go to www.schwansfundraising.com and use campaign Id: 43179.
4. Order a gift certificate(s) by calling 1-888-SCHWANS, inform the representative you want to purchase a gift card(s) and provide the campaign Id: 43179 or go to www.schwan’s.com, click on the gift card link and follow the directions including entering the campaign Id: 43179 on the right side of the screen under Gift Cards for Fund Raising and click submit. The certificate will ship to address of your choice. Gift certificates are a great way to help the library and still support your local driver if you are already receiving delivery at your residence. Gift certificates also make great gifts.
For additional details on the fundraiser, stop by the library desk or call (989)224-4702.
