Default Fundraiser idea...what do you think?

I plan to take orders for Personalized Glass Pans with a plastic lid at my work this week. Proceeds will go towards my 2014 American Diabetes Association, Tour de Cure spring bicycle ride. These should be great gifts for those that make bars or hot dishes to bring places, wedding gifts, or just because. This will make sure they rightful owner will get their own pan back.

I will personalize Pyrex 9x13 glass pans per request. I am wondering if $20 each is a reasonable price to ask?......What do you think?

Thanks for helping me find a donation price! Who knows...if it works well I might have my hubby bring it into his work next week. haha

They are about $15 at Target without personalization. $20 seems like a price people would easily pay.

Do I understand that you are supplying the glass also? If people know its for charity they will usually contribute more. I think you are going to low.

I don't want to over charge though....as for the lid. I don't have a way of doing that. Yes I provide the glass pan and lid.

Hey I'd ship them out to if it didn't cost so much for the shipping. haha pick up in MN

You could write the name with a paint pen. I used to do personalization with the paint pens from Michaels

I think this is a great idea, you could maybe use one of those engraving tools to mark the lid too?

Look for wholesale prices on the dishes/lids. Maybe you can get a good price for buying a bunch!
