Disclaimer: I was provided samples in order to experience the delicious taste of fall fundraising as part of a sponsored post for The Pasta Shoppe. No other compensation was received, all thoughts and opinions are mine.
Now that you and your family are settled back into the school year (or maybe for the first time!), I’m sure you’ve heard whispers of fundraising in the air. Maybe the chorus or band needs new uniforms. Maybe the science class needs a field trip to the zoo, botanical gardens or observatory. If funds are tight, there’s no easier way to raise money than with The Pasta Shoppe’s Fundraising Program, featuring unique pastas, gift boxes and sweet meringues!
With a brochure full of choices, it’s easy for anyone for find something that looks delicious. In the past, I’ve actually purchased many bags of “Pasta with Personality”, which include themed shaped pastas with seasoning packets and directions to create a delicious pasta salad. I’m partial to the UGA salad, but hey – we’re also big football fans. (GO DAWGS!) Our family was able to test run a bunch of delicious Pasta Shoppe options, like the Lobster Time Pasta, Chicken Noodle Soup, Cat Lovers (no cats were harmed in the making of this pasta…) and Snowman Pasta (soooo ready for Christmas decor over here).
We added some homemade grilled oregano chicken and a light alfredo sauce to the Spinach Garlic Pasta Nests and loved it. They are quite small, so be sure to make a few for each person (there are a LOT in the box). I can’t wait to get our Wintertime Chili going – it’s just too darn hot in Georgia still for me to cozy up with fuzzy socks and a mug of this tasty stuff.
The best thing the Pasta Shoppe has to offer? The FOUR page spread of collegiate pastas. Perfect for a tailgate or Bowl game, and they even come with seasoning packets to mix with fresh ingredients, making your pasta the MVP of the game.
Fundraising prices are very low – from $4.99 for a large pasta pack to $10.99 for an entire gift set. Your customers can shop online, with a personalized website, or in brochure (a lot like traditional fundraising). Free Shipping is included for brochures, and thank you bags are provided for easy distribution. Afraid you can’t eat all your pasta in one go? Tell your fundraising customers that the pastas have a 2 year shelf life, and 6 month for all other goods (if stored in a cool, dry place).

I like the Texas Longhorn pasta. We actually got some last year in support of a co-worker’s child’s school. It was a big hit in a pasta salad at a game-watching party. My kids would love the Zoo Animal shaped pasta. I like that they are different colors – which usually means veggie pasta – but my kids don’t know that. Shhhhh….. 🙂
The Christmas tree pasta would be a great, easy, maybe a new baby is here fun dinner for the girls!
I think the girls would have a riot with the Cat Lovers pasta, too! And they tend to link the multi-color pasta approach.
I like Apple Orchard and Texas Longhorns pasta.
Pretty sure the hubs would be stoked to see FSU pasta…Chief Osceola Chili? Indeed. 🙂
Oh my goodness! What a fun product to have for a party! The UGA pasta would be a really cool gift for some of my college football folks too!
This is so fun! My husband would love that UGA pasta…his 2 favorite things rolled into 1! I think those little lobsters are so cute!
Gamecocks of course! But the baseball pasta is cute too!
I grew up a gamecock!!! 🙂 Small world!
The recipe and vinaigrette mix that comes with the UGA pasta is soooo good! I need to figure out how to replicate!
Mmmm. Lets do that right away. It’s starting to be chili weather.
I can’t believe how many varieties they have – it’s amazing! Good luck!
Yay cat lovers! I guess Mr. Serious won’t eat any 😉 The Christmas tree pasta is one I love!!!!
YES! We have to have all the sneaky veggies over here that we can handle. A picky 2 year old demands it. The shapes in the zoo pasta are super fun, and I’m glad you got to see the fundraising first hand!
I love the Christmas trees! But my boys would love the zoo animals.
Your spinach garlic pasta with chicken looks amazing….yum! Love all the designs:)
Everything looks so good
Yay! Go Dawgs and go pasta!!!! 🙂
I can certainly see myself giving this a try. Looks interesting
