Riverbend Elementary Parent Society 

Riverbend Elementary Parents Society (REPS) is excited to be kicking off our 10th annual Cookie Dough fundraiser!

All profits from this fundraiser will directly support student learning at Riverbend Elementary school. Every student will benefit from your support.

The Goal: We are suggesting that each student sell a minimum of 6 boxes to meet our fundraising goals. This cookie dough is perfect for the holiday season and customers often want to sample at least two flavours so it should only take up to an hour of campaigning (door-to-door, calling friends/family, etc.) to meet this goal.

The Rewards: To help motivate our students we are offering several exciting rewards throughout the fundraiser. 

• Top Sellers: (2024’s top sellers sold 100, 86, 82, 58 and 53 boxes)

  • 1st top seller prize:  4 Day Passes to Calaway Park and 10 Passes to Flying Squirrel 

  • 2nd top seller prize: 4 Day Passes to Telus Spark and 2 Passes to The Big Box 

  • 3rd top seller prize: Bowling Party at Toppler Bowl (2 hours for up to 10 people)

  • 4th top seller prize: 4 Day Passes to Cobbs Adventure Park

  • 5th top seller prize: 2 Passes to Flying Squirrel

** Donations to REPS in lieu of fundraising are not counted towards top seller prizes. Please contact REPS for information on making a cash donation.

• Pizza Party: If we, as a school, sell over 1,000 boxes, every student in the school will be invited to a school-wide pizza party!

• Spirit Gear: All students that participate in the fundraiser will be entered into a draw for Riverbend Raccoons Spirit Gear. There will be one draw for each grade. One bonus entry will be added for every 5 boxes sold! 

The Deadline: Orders are due no later than October 29, 2025 and are to be submitted to the student’s teacher. Please fill out the order form completely and double check all row and column totals to simplify order processing. Order forms have been pre-labeled with the student’s name and home room but please provide a contact phone number in case there are issues processing your order or payment.

How to Pay: Please submit a single e-transfer payment per student order to fundraising@riverbendraccoons.ca including the student’s name in the message so we can efficiently match the payment to the order.

Families are responsible for collecting money from their customers and submitting a single e-transfer payment per student order to us.
