Colorado Based Company Helps Schools Raise Funds - With A 21st Century Spin On How They Do It...

Online, July 30, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Englewood, CO based, Skynz For Schools puts a new twist on school fundraising efforts. They are offering protective and decorative "skins" for cell phones, laptops, PDA's and iPods. Through a unique program they offer schools the opportunity to purchase the products (available for 1000's of electronic devices) in a voucher format that the school's customers redeem online through a partner company, SkinIt.com. The price offered to the schools is heavily discounted, allowing the schools to sell the skins at a lower rate than is available online, while still doubling their investment.

Gone are the days of selling magazine subscription and $10 boxes of popcorn. Skynz For Schools offers a creative and up to date and cost effective way of raising funds. The skins are available for over 850 cell phones, over 50 MP3 players (including all iPod models), 50 PDA devices and a plethora of laptops, netbooks, game consoles and other devices. With over 4000 designs to choose from including; Disney, American Idol, NFL, NBA, MLB, the Twilight Saga, Collegiate designs and more. Customers can also upload and use their own photos and designs. "With the custom graphics we provide and the thousands of designs and tools offered on SkinIt.com, the school's customers can truly make a one of a kind skin for their device", says co-founder and President Ty Hurd.

To put this within reach of even the most underfunded schools; Skynz For Schools requires only 20% down payment from the school, letting them pay off the remaining balance after they've raised the funds needed. "In order for schools to raise money re-selling products they must first purchase the inventory, that's why you see a chocolate bar that costs $.50 going for $5.00, it's the only way they can afford to do it. We help them out by taking a small down payment and immediately delivering the goods. This allows them to make money without having a lot to start with".

Skynz For Schools offers a free custom mascot design service for the schools that can be used to completely customize the skins. "It's a very unique idea in general, but with the custom graphics we provide, the schools really have a way to show their school pride. Plus, the kids really dig 'em". The graphics are also provided to the schools in a hi-res format for the schools to use however they wish.
