West Coast Fund Raising of Corona, California, is a family owned
business started in 1988. It is one of the only companies in the United
States owned and operated by teachers. The founders, Don and
Shirley Zink, have had the overwhelming desire to make each school
the most money possible while giving the children an even more
important message.

Every program has been built around a theme with powerful values
for the children, i.e.,

“Hugs not Drugs”

“Simon Says”

“Building America 's Future”

“Special Thoughts for Better Living”

“The Bully-free Zone”

“Be a Buddy not a Bully”

“Simple Acts of Care & Kindness”

“Kid Power”

Each program conveys special messages to help build the self-esteem
of children and to empower them to make the world a better place.

Our overall theme for the last 2 years has been “ The Bully-free Zone”
because bullying is a major problem in our schools. Over 120,000
children stay home from school each day — afraid of being bullied —
and it's the 3^rd largest cause of teen suicide. We need to stop this
epidemic, starting with our elementary schools.

Our program has focused on helping children understand what to do if
they are being bullied or are witnessing someone else being bullied.

We believe that all children have needs to give and to receive
kindness; to be noticed and to recognize others; to be appreciated and
to appreciate others. It is our desire to give the teacher some unique
tools to help the children understand these values. “Be a Buddy not
a Bully”

Educators have given our fundraising programs wonderful support.
Over 90% of the schools we work with set all-time profit records
while having a positive effect on our children.

Just think, together we can take proactive steps with your school to
encourage positive change for students, classrooms, communities and
society.
