The program is designed for grades K-8, although high schools are also eligible.

It begins with an exciting launch event, which includes:

• An interactive, educational presentation on the benefits of saving energy with the use of light emitting diode (LED) light bulbs, advanced power strips, low-flow showerheads, and more
•  Fun games and hands-on activities to foster excitement about energy efficiency
• Free educational materials
• Support from fundraising coordinators throughout the entire process

Best of all, your school or non-profit organization gets to keep 100 percent of the money collected through the fundraiser.

Students are educated about energy efficient products and encouraged to spread the word on ways to save energy at home. The fundraiser products (LEDs, advanced power strips, low-flow showerheads) are provided at no cost to your school or non-profit organization. The fundraiser also includes participant rewards and recognition at no additional cost.
