Positive Promotions – Friday Made Sweeter With a Bake Sale for a Cause
The American Cancer Society® is a nationwide, community-based health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer. Together with millions of supporters The American Cancer Society® helps save lives and celebrate more birthdays! ACS is dedicated to helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and fighting back. We, at Positive Promotions, are making a difference by teaming up to participate in the American Cancer Society’s® Relay For Life® and having fun raising money by putting together fundraisers such as our annual bake sale!Hauppauge, NY April 15, 2011 - Positive Promotions will be participating in the “Relay For Life®” with ACS in Bay Shore, NY on May 21st -22nd . At the event, the Positive team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness for the cause. All funds raised will be donated to The American Cancer Society® to support the research needed to find a cure to end this tragic disease. “We realize saving lives from cancer takes more than just one person, so together as a team, and one dollar at a time we will make a difference in many lives and help to find a cure to end cancer.” said Patty McColley, Director of the call center at Positive Promotions and Team Leader, “The impact we can make together as a team is much greater than one individual working alone.”
Today at Positive Promotions we had a Bake Sale in our building as part of our efforts to raise money and awareness for a cure. Everyone got involved in some way. Some people baked delicious treats and others bought them up! There were yummy cupcakes, brownies, lemon meringue pie, strawberry shortcake, cookies and the list goes on, but the most popular goodie at the bake sale was Tom Zimmerman’s, CFO at Positive Promotions, carrot cake. Apparently everyone who had this amazingly delicious carrot cake last year could not wait to get their hands on it this year; the cake actually had to be hidden so we could get a picture of it before it was finished off! The bake sell was a big hit; we were able to raise a lot of money and also had a lot of fun doing it!
All of Positive Promotions’ teams, together, rose over $30,000 last year with all their fundraising efforts for “The Bay Shore Relay For Life® Event”. We hope to go beyond that this year. If you want to learn more about Positive Promotions “Relay For Life®” team come check us out online!

Positivepromotions.com Announces 2010 Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week Contest Winners
Positive Promotions would like to thank all those who entered our “Teacher & Staff appreciation Week Contest”; everybody went above and beyond with their activities! Keep up the good work!
Grand Prize goes to Farley Elementary School in Huntsville, Alabama, where they came up with a creative way to tell the teachers and staff, “You Make a World of Difference.” The school used puppets to represent children from various nationalities, international flags, and lapel pins from Positive Promotions to help represent the theme. Students and staff were encouraged to dress in regional costumes from different areas of the United States as well as from around the world! The theme continued outside the elementary school where Huntsville restaurants got involved by providing various ethnic dishes for an appreciation luncheon. The printed program for the luncheon resembled a passport and each guest received a “boarding pass”, which he/she would write their names on as an entry into a drawing for prizes. The school gave out more than $4,000 in gift certificates that were donated by local businesses. Although “You Make a World of Difference” was only held on Wednesday, the students made sure to show their appreciation throughout the week. On Monday students brought in apples and continued to bring in one small gift of appreciation throughout the week. Great job Huntsville, Alabama in paying tribute to your local heroes!
Ahoy Matey!!! Is what you might have heard at Riverside Junior/Senior High School in Boardman, Oregon where they told its staff “You’re a Treasure”. Coming in second place with “Pirate and Island” themed activities, Riverside High shares their creativity in showing their staff appreciation. The school held two meals with specially named food and the invitations were printed on what resembled aged paper. To get these invitations to appear aged they had to dip them in tea, then dye it and roll it into scrolls. A team of teachers decorated the staff lounge with palm trees, tropical flowers, and images of lizards. Each staffer’s photo was placed on a paper cutout of a pirate and assigned a pirate name. Students contributed by writing notes of appreciation that were delivered in envelopes reading “Well, ‘isle’ be thankful you’re part of our staff!” The staff received chocolate coins, luau rubber ducks, palm tree trophies, leis, neon sunglasses and Positive Promotions starfish tumblers. Congratulations Riverside High, keep up the great work!
At Jefferson Elementary School in Gary, Indiana, our third place winner, the Jefferson Social Club hosted festivities to show that teachers and staff were the “Apple of their Eyes!” Paper apples were displayed on a bulletin board, each with someone’s name on it. Apple themed items appeared throughout the week: apple fritters, apple lapel pins, apple picture frames, apple-scented hand soap and lotion, apple certificates, and apple-shaped jumbo paper clips. Teachers also received Positive Promotions academic monthly desk planners. Every day a poem of appreciation was read by a student during morning announcements, but the highlight of the week was a “Jacademy Awards Luncheon”, where awards went out in comical categories, such as “Most like Dr. Phil.” Congratulations Jefferson Elementary School!
