WELCOME TO C+C FUNDRAISING

Here at C + C Fundraising we really make it FUN raising money for your schools or programs. We get students engaged & motivated in the process. We are sick of the traditional fundraisers too, and we make it our priority and goal to modernize the fundraising experience.

Traditional school fundraisers are becoming less successful. Fundraising should be a priority in schools today! Here at C + C Fundraising, we believe if you are robotic in the things you do, your expectations or results will be disappointing.

 C + C’s mission is to help programs reach their specific funding goals through exploring and communicating their needs with supporters. As well as, giving these supporters an easy, transparent opportunity to support those needs.

Communicating a need that parents can believe in is the most effective way of generating support for a school and / or program. We find value in supporting the school/child in an eco-friendly manner, less paper, AND less clutter.  LESS IS MORE!

We are heavily invested in using technology as a vital tool in modern fundraising. The efficient products we do offer are truly original and are only direct sell items – which means no order forms, no delivery headaches, and no sorting!

In the end, FUNdrsaising made fun for all!

CHRISTIAN SANTANA

Chrisitan Santana, born and raised in Miami, has always been involved in many youth activities from his time in High School, at his church youth group and throughout various youth organizations in the Archdiocese of his hometown. While attending the University of Florida, he became involved with the Southwestern Company. During his summer months, he would spend his time selling educational books door to door 80 hours a week to families in different assigned locations throughout the US. This is where Christian learned that he had an appreciation for sales and a love for helping kids and families with their educational experience.

In 2003, Christian graduated from UF and started working for the Southwestern’s sister company, Great American Opportunties Inc. In the 15 years working with GAO, it became the most preferred school fundraising company in the industry. He learned the fundamentals of running successful fundraising programs and was blessed to be mentored by some of the best reps in the industry.  Christian has worked in the area of South Florida throughout this time and has raised over 5 million dollars in profits for schools.

In February of 2019, an opportunity presented itself to start his own company to better serve his South Florida community. He decided to team up with a former teacher and friend of 15 years to form a unique company with a vision of truly understanding the needs of our schools, teachers, and parents. Christian is driven to find the best solutions to help your school reach their goals and is always looking for fun and creative processes to achieve them.
