Hold a Fundraising Houseparty!
Fundraising house parties and office parties are great ways to celebrate Save The Frogs Day, your birthday....or any day! They spread the word and educate people about amphibian extinctions, and are an excellent method of raising funds for Save The Frogs' worldwide amphibian conservation efforts. Plus, fundraising parties are a fun way to catch up with friends! And they aren't very hard to set up. Here's how to have a successful party for the frogs!
Have a Bake Sale for the Frogs!
People love cookies and other tasty treats, so if you have any cooking skills you can hold a bake sale to raise money for SAVE THE FROGS! this Save The Frogs Day -- or whenever suits you. We'll even send you a free cookie cutter if you ask us! Set up in your school, office or even on the street corner. If you want to sell cookies, or cookie dough, these sites can help: Otis Spunkmeyer, Five Star Fundraising, The Goodies Factory and Just Fundraising.
"Kerry, just wanted to let you know that I love the frog cookie cutters and really enjoyed that it was packed with a child's original drawing.
Keep up the good work!"

A message from 13 Year Old Frog Saver Rachel Hopkins
My name is Rachel Hopkins, I’m a 13 girl who loves frogs. I want to make sure these wonders of nature survive the 21st century, so I've been working hard for the past year to bring awareness of the amphibian extinction issue to the citizens of North Carolina. Last April I got my entire school involved with Save The Frogs Day and raised $1,200 for SAVE THE FROGS!. I've spoken on local radio and in front of my County's Commissioners. In November 2011 at my request Governor Bev Perdue officially designated April 28, 2012 as Save The Frogs Day in the state of North Carolina. Amphibians are having trouble not just in North Carolina but all around the world, and SAVE THE FROGS! is our best hope to save them. If everyone does their part, I know we will succeed.
Please show your compassion for our planet and its creatures, and fundraise for SAVE THE FROGS!
Every dollar makes a big difference.
Thanks!
Rachel Hopkins
