Fundraising in the New Year can be easy with Tea4Support.com
Working with organizations, in particular school, Whisk and Spoon was surprised how much schools counted on the PTA to support essential programs for its students—it’s intimidating by the amount of money needed for each class. This year, we’ve created new teas for an exciting new fundraiser – Tea4support. Working with tea4support will help your organization avoid the dreaded Fundraising Fatigue.
Tea4Support can offer something more compelling and meaningful to your organization’s community!
Offering something more interesting and creative—something that parents would buy eagerly, not just out of a sense of duty, and that their friends and family would be thrilled to receive as gifts? It should be useful, easy, personalized to reflect the unique personality of each supporter—and definitely delicious, so you’ll want more!
Tea4support is a creative, community-based alternative to the usual school fundraiser. Teas are for the conscious consumer, products that advance the values parents strive to instill in their children. The tea4support selection of teas are healthy, good for you, and taste delicious. They support local communities while creating jobs in Pennsylvania!
Tea4support fundraising can provide the same kind of opportunity for the parents who choose to use this company. By banding together to support education programs beyond our own schools, communities can help even more kids at a time when budget cuts and deficits make this kind of assistance more important than ever in todays’s economy.
For this reason, Tea4support Fundraising applies part of its proceeds (beyond the money you raise for your own fundraiser) to help less fortunate U.S. communities. Right now and the near future Tea4support will be supporting SANDY relief projects
With tea4support.com up and running, nothing gives our company, Whisk and Spoon, greater pleasure than helping cash-strapped schools provide a rich education without compromises for every student. We hope you’ll join Tea4Support and make every fundraiser unique and memorable for your students, your family and friends, and your entire school community.Fundraising with Tea4support.com

Not a dry eye in the house on Saturday Nite January 15,2011
Liz and Jay Scott put on another fantastic event for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) which was the continued vision of the founder and creator, Alexandra “Alex” Scott. Reading heartfelt letters from families who benefit from funds raised by ALSF, moved every one attending the silent auction . With over 100 volunteers, and participation from major corporations this evening fundraiser does it right for a great start to the New Year and the vision “a cure for all children with cancer”
The most important message was that it all started with a lemonade stand and a vision. That little stand and little girl’s vision turned into over $1,000,000. This organization continues today through her parents, friends, volunteers, community involvement and a bunch of little kids raising a lot of awareness. Alex would have been 15 on January 18, 2011.

My favorite drink to the start of the holiday Season
Chai Tea with a bit of MOXI
Why not try and make chai from scratch? You can vary the following according to taste. I love the stuff as an alternative. When I was in India almost every street corner has a “chai” stall. 
My Whisk and SPOON Recipe
- 1/3 water
- 2/3 milk (soy and rice work great too)
- 1 Whisk and Spoon Pyramid tea bag for each cup measured
- freshly chopped ginger & a few cardamom pods
- a little piece clove (optional)
- organic sugar (organic palm or agave are our fav’s) to make it sweet to your taste
Throw it all into a saucepan cold EXCEPT TEA BAGS and bring slowly to a boil. When boiling turn off the heat. Swirl it around until it reaches the desired strength and the spices provide a kick. Strain it into small glasses.
Alcohol optional
