Riverwood Auxiliary introduces new fundraiser

The Riverwood Healthcare Community Auxiliary is partnering with Schwan’s for a new fundraising campaign that will run from Nov. 1 through Dec. 16, 2013. During this period, the Auxiliary will receive 20 percent of all sales made with the designated fundraising codes of 7126 and 3543.

Community members can buy Schwan’s products to support the Auxiliary, which makes significant contributions to Riverwood capital campaigns to expand the hospital and clinics and for the purchase of special equipment and clinic furnishings.

Schwan’s offers more than 350 high quality frozen meals and treats, ranging from appetizers to entrees and side dishes to ice cream and other desserts.

If you order one $25 gift certificate during the active campaign from early November through mid-December, the Auxiliary will receive 40 percent of the proceeds. In addition, the Auxiliary will receive 5 percent on all Schwan sales from December 17, 2013 through October 31, 2014.

“Customers and supporters pay the same retail price as all Schwan’s customers, while contributing to an organization they care about,” says Betty Cooper, Riverwood Auxiliary coordinator.  “It’s a win-win situation. For those doing holiday shopping,  a Schwan’s gift card could make a wonderful gift.”

How to place a Schwan’s order
For a contribution to go to the Auxiliary, you must place your first order either online at www.Schwans.com or by calling Schwan’s toll free at (888) 724-9267. You need to use the codes 7126 and 3543 to ensure that a contribution goes to the Auxiliary. All subsequent orders can then be made online, by phone, or purchased directly from a driver by giving the Auxiliary’s 7126 code number. Schwan’s will deliver all orders directly to your home.

You must use a debit or credit card to place your first order; however, upon delivery you can pay with check, cash, debit or credit cards.

If you’re a current Schwan’s customer, you can help the Riverwood Auxiliary by providing the codes 7126 and 3543 at the time of your order.

Schwan’s catalogs are available at Riverwood Healthcare Center. For more information, call Auxiliary members Noel or Alma Bailey at (218) 927-6379.
