Article Summary: Koozies can make a difference when it comes to helping your charity. There are all kinds of ways to use them in your efforts. If you spend some time brainstorming, you can think of even more ways.

It is good to be involved with charities and causes. Sometimes it is difficult to think of new ways to promote your causes. Other times, you just want to make money to support your favorite charities. You can use koozies to do both.

One way to both raise money and promote your charity is to get a corporate sponsor. This is a company that will give money to your cause. Often, the corporate sponsor likes to get something in return.

You can use koozies to help both you and your corporate sponsor. You can have your sponsoring company’s logo printed on one side of the koozies. Then, have the other side printed with information about your charity. You can give these out at stores or sporting events. You can also give them directly to the sponsor to distribute on their own for advertising.

Walk-a-thons or 5-K or 10-K runs are popular to raise money for charities. You can promote your charity by offering a koozie to participants as they cross the finish line. When others see their koozies, the walkers or runners will remember the day with pride. It will encourage others to join for the next event.

There are several ways to make money on koozies at a booth. You can get a booth for your charity at a county or state fair, or a boat, car, or home show. Use the booth to promote your charity and raise money at the same time.

For example, you could have a new twist on an old fashioned carnival game. You could buy plenty of koozies and have them in rows on a big table. You could have people throw quarters at them to get prizes.

To get the biggest prizes, they would have to get the quarter in a particular colored koozie. If the quarter goes in any other koozie, they get the koozie itself. The charity would keep all the quarters that were tossed.

Similarly, if your local laws allow, you can have a koozie raffle. Enter everyone who signs up at your booth into the raffle. Be sure to get their contact information so you can call them if they win one of the big prizes.

Give everyone who signs up a koozie with their entry fee. You can make the raffle tickets cost much more than the koozies cost you to buy. At the same time, entrants will feel that they got something for something. If you sell enough tickets, you could earn a considerable sum for your charity.

Then of course, you can simply buy the koozies in bulk and sell them at an increased rate. You can purchase koozies in large amounts for a dollar, or much less, per piece depending upon how many you buy. People will be happy to pay several dollars for a koozie if it is going to help an important charity.

Koozies can make a difference when it comes to helping your charity. There are all kinds of ways to use them in your efforts. If you spend some time brainstorming, you can think of even more ways.
