Wrapping up what's new

If you have older children at Brookdale, you know the name Sally Foster. For several years, we've sold the company's wrapping paper and holiday items as our single largest fundraiser.
This year we're getting to know Great American Opportunity, a company with a wide, varied and affordable selection. More than 75 items in the Celebrate catalog alone are $10 or less. And yes, you still can buy wrapping paper.
As you talk with family and friends about the sale - which continues through Sept. 15 - we'd like to highlight a few new opportunities made possible this year through the switch to Great American.  
Free gift
Every student who sells 12 or more items can select one item from the Celebrate catalog for $10 or less for FREE! Simply enter your choice on the order form under the goal prize section. (Limit one free item per student who sells 12 items or more.)
Gifts
Great American Opportunity's selection of gift items is huge in the Celebrate catalog and you may have noticed that many items are made in the USA.  Look for the symbol next to the image to focus on these American-made goods.
Wrap
The gift wrap is the same high-quality wrap  we have offered in previous years. Many designs are reversible. Don’t miss the exclusive "Toy Story 3" design on the back of the catalog!
Candy
The Kathryn Beich chocolates and candy (on pages 16-21) are delicious and packaged perfectly for gift-giving. You will not be disappointed with the wide selection or flavor of these items!
Personalized Items
Don’t forget to check out the special personalized items online (see pages 36 and 37 for details) and canvas impressions (pages 38 and 39) for new, unique items that can help raise funds for Brookdale.
Cookie Dough
Their fabulous cookie dough, featured in the Tasty Batters flyer, comes in 17 flavors are all trans-fat free.  All cookies come in 3-pound tubs, and four flavors come in pre-portioned sizes.

The fall designs jewelry collection is a new offering for fundraising this year that allows even more gift-giving options for our families while supporting Brookdale. All jewelry is manufactured without lead or nickel, and post earrings have hypo-allergenic surgical stainless steel posts.
