Gondolas® for Fundraising
- Avanti's allows groups to resell our Gondola® sandwiches to raise money.
- Special resale pricing is available to allow your organization to achieve a profit for your efforts.
- Please call either of our Bloomington/Normal locations and ask to speak to a carryout supervisor. They will be able to assist you with specific information.
- Your organization will not be exempt from Illinois State sales tax unless we have proper documentation on file.
Scrip Fundraising Program - How it works!
- Avanti's provides gift cards for schools, churches and other non-profits at a 10% discount.
- The organization sells the gift cards to their members and supporters at face value.
- The 10% difference in cost is your organization's profit.
