ALBERTA’S TRIED-AND-TRUE FUNDRAISER JUST GOT EASIER

Posted: October 8, 2026 Category: Media Releases, Our Team, Vendor, Recipe,

If you’ve ever somehow ended up in charge of fundraising for the hockey team, dance group, school trip, club, or community project… you know the drill.

You need something people will actually buy, enough profit to make the work worthwhile, and preferably a process that doesn’t require a calculator, three coffees and an accounting degree.

For decades, Stawnichy’s has helped Alberta schools, sports teams, clubs and community organizations do exactly that. Our fundraising program has been built and refined over the years with real people, real fundraisers — and real order sheets — in mind.

So, we kept what works and simplified what could be easier.

 

WHAT’S NEW?

 

1. Simple per-package pricing

No more weighed items. Our fundraising products are now priced per package, making it easier to set your selling prices, take orders and keep everything organized along the way.

We figured pricing could be one less thing to worry about.

2. An extra 5% from Stawnichy’s

You set your selling price and keep your fundraising profit — and we add a little extra. Stawnichy’s donates 5% of your total order to your cause.

*Applies to fundraising orders of $1,500 or more. The 5% contribution will be reflected as a discount on your final invoice.

3. A streamlined product list and ordering portal

Over the years, we’ve learned which products fundraisers can’t get enough of — and which ones tend to sit on the sidelines.

So, we kept the favourites, added a few new ones, and trimmed some of the less popular items. Don’t worry — there are still 35+ Stawnichy’s favourites to choose from.

We’ve also made a few updates to the ordering portal so it’s easier to follow your campaign as you go. You’ll be able to see your order total, fundraising profit, and any applicable pricing or delivery benefits before submitting your final order.

A little less guesswork, and a more clarity along the way!

A FUNDRAISER WITH A FAN BASE

One of the nicest things about choosing Stawnichy’s as a food fundraiser is that you’re not starting from zero. We’re a local, family-owned and operated Alberta company that’s been around for over 65 years. Generations of families already know Stawnichy’s sausage, pepperoni, perogies, jerky and plenty of other favourites.

And since 2016 alone, groups have raised more than $2 million through over 2,000 Stawnichy’s fundraising campaigns. So when you hand someone the order form, there’s a pretty good chance they already know what they’re looking for.

That helps whether you’re organizing school fundraising, hockey fundraising, other sports fundraising, or raising money for a local club or community organization.

Shumka School of Dance has been fundraising with Stawnichy’s since 2017. Jamie P., Head of Fundraising at Shumka School of Dance, said:

That’s the kind of problem you want to have when you’re fundraising!

The AMA Social Club had a similar experience after several years with the program. Rowan W., Head of Fundraising at AMA Social Club, says:

“The products basically sell themselves — they’re just SO GOOD.”

That kind of repeat demand can make a big difference when you’re running a fundraiser.

 

MORE THAN SAUSAGE, BY THE WAY

Of course, Mundare Sausage is literally in our name, but your fundraiser can go a lot further than sausage rings.

There are 35+ Stawnichy’s products to choose from, including sausage, smokies, ham, ribs, pepperoni, jerky, patties, perogies, cabbage rolls, cheese crepes and more.

Choose a few favourites or offer a bigger selection. You decide what makes sense for your group and your customers.
