Gertens Traditional Fundraisers

How does a Gertens traditional (in-person) fundraiser work?

While we now have an online fundraising option, we still offer our traditional fundraising option. 

Participation and Scheduling:

  • A fundraising account is required to participate in our programs. Call 651-239-1321 to get started.
  • Notify Gertens of intent to participate by scheduling your delivery/will call date for a seasonal program.
  • All deliveries are scheduled as AM (8-12) or PM (1-5). Will Call hours 8am - 4:30pm at Gertens shipping dock 9.
  • You will be contacted the afternoon/evening prior to your delivery with a closer time estimate.

Your Sale:

  • Choose the items you would like to sell from our seasonal offering, listed on the Fundraiser Order Form in your seasonal information packet.
