Love Cookies? Cordova Gardens Holds Tasty Fundraiser

It’s that time of year again! A local Rancho Cordova school is currently out fundraising in full force armed with order forms for enjoyable tubs of cookie dough. Cordova Gardens Elementary School is holding the cookie dough fundraiser in order to raise money to bring theatrical experiences to their school.

Fourty percent of all cookie dough purchases will go back to Cordova Gardens where the PTA will use the money to sponsor educational programs. These programs include Sacramento City College Penny Whistle Players theatrical production and a traveling reptile and insect show called Python Ron.

This is Cordova Gardens’ second year participating in the Cookie Dough Fundraiser and last year their sales topped $10,000! Prices are $12.00 for an Easy-Scoop 2.7 pound tub, which allows you to control the size of your cookies, and $14.00 for a package of 48 Pre-Portioned, 1-ounce ready to bake cookies.

Cordova Gardens PTA members who have tried the cookie dough describe it as delicious and have noticed that the chocolate chip flavor appears to always be a great seller. To place an order, contact Dawn Morley, Fundraiser Chairperson of Cordova Gardens PTA, at 916-804-2546 or email at morley@auroraresearchgroup.com. Cash and checks made payable to Cordova Gardens PTA are both acceptable forms of payment.

The cookie dough is manufactured by Otis Spunkmeyer, a fresh baked cookie business which began in 1977 as a California chain of retail cookie stores. According to the Otis Spunkmeyer website, ready-to-bake, frozen cookie dough is the #1 brand infood service.

There are several types of cookie dough to choose from like their no trans fat, healthy new options of “old favorites”. Flavors include oatmeal raisin, white chunk macadamia nut, M & M, chocolate chunk, sugar, peanut butter, snicker doodle, chocolate chip brownies, and reduced fat chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough can be stored in the freezer or refrigerator.

The Cookie Dough Fundraiser runs through March 30, 2009; please allow three to four weeks for the cookie dough to be delivered to the school. All orders and payments must be at the school or given to Dawn by March 30th.

Morley and the Cordova Gardens PTA would like to let the public know that they really appreciate the support, especially during these tough economic times. They ask that if you are planning to buy cookies from the store, to please purchase cookie dough from the school’s fundraiser instead.

Recall Alert from www.spunkmeyer.com: Otis Spunkmeyer products are not subject to the peanut butter recall being conducted by Peanut Corporation of America.
