Get coffee with a heart! If you order coffee online through Blenz Cares and designate Seva as your charity, then for each $16.99 bag of coffee sold Seva will receive $8.27. The minimum online order is 6 bags, so each order will raise $49.62 for Seva -- enough to fully fund a sight-restoring eye surgery including the pre- and post-operative care and medications. Now that's truly an eye-opening cup of coffee!
Blenz Cares whole-bean Machu Picchu Coffee from Peru is triple certified -- organic, shade grown so it's bird friendly, and certified fair trade. Order yours today at Blenz Cares and help restore sight and prevent blindness in some of the world's poorest countries.
To help fundraise for Seva you can download our Seva & Blenz Cares Coffee Order Form and collect coffee orders from your friends, family, colleagues, book club members and team members. It's a simple way to multiply the power of saving sight and to get great coffee at the same time.
Here are some more ideas: 1. Walk, bike, run or swim for Seva. Get your friends,family and colleagues to sponsor you and ask them to join you to really make a difference! 2. Host a dinner, wine tasting or other meal. Why not make part of the evening a blind tasting. Ask your guests to make a donation that is equivalent or greater to what the meal would cost them in a restaurant. Then challenge your guests to host a dinner party of their own to keep paying it forward. 3. Hold a sale for Seva — a garage sale, book sale, plant sale, bake sale. Why not organize your neighbours to make it bigger, poster your neighbourhood, advertise in your weekly papers and make it a community event that brings in hundreds of potential buyers.
4. Sell Paperblanks journals for Seva. Hartley & Marks Publishers have generously donated thousands of beautiful blank journals to Seva which are sold at half of retail price for our sight programs. Note: They cannot be sold in locations that would compete with existing retailers. Visit the Seva office for an amazing selection and sell them on consignment for us.
5. Sell Seva calendars.
6. Hold a concert or performance for Seva. This is also a great opportunity to hold a silent auction to add to your fundraising revenue.
7. Invent your own event or fundraising initiative. You've got the skills and talent to do something amazing!
