Over 40,000 schools and youth groups depend on World’s Finest Chocolate for their annual fundraisers. The profits from these sales support a wide range of causes and make up an integral part of many school budgets. Yet while nearly fifty cents of every one-dollar bar goes to support local schools or charity groups, scarcely pennies reach impoverished cocoa farmers and their families. Global Exchange is working with schools, churches and charitable groups across the country to call upon World’s Finest to broaden the good that our communities can do in using its fundraising bars by offering Fair Trade.
We feel that this is an important way their company can contribute to a comprehensive solution to child labor in the cocoa industry and use their products not only to support community development for our children but for children everywhere. Don’t let the profits from your next school fundraiser come at the expense of another child’s education on one of the world’s cocoa farms. Send World's Finest a free fax today and share with them your experience fundraising with thier products (or their fairly traded competitors) and the depth and breadth of support for fair trade in your community. You can use our sample text or write a message in your own words below!
