School Bake Sales Get a Fruit and Veggie Facelift with the “UnBake Sale”

Share On Social!

The bake sale is a classic school fundraiser, but the usual items fore sale like sugary cookies, cupcakes and other treats won’t meet the new Smart Snacks in Schools guidelines set by the USDA in June 2014. However, schools shouldn’t fear losing revenue from cancelled bake sales. Bolthouse Farms is redefining what a bake sale can be with their launch of the UnBake Sale.

The UnBake Sale initiative provides schools all the tools to host a fundraising event featuring better-for-you fun and delicious snacks made of fruits and vegetables that meet the Smart Snacks in Schools guidelines.

Parents, teachers and school administrators are encouraged to visit TheUnBakeSale.com and join the “100 School Pledge.” The first 100 schools to participate in the pledge will receive a starter kit from Bolthouse Farms that includes a $100 retailer gift card, recipe booklet featuring UnBake Sale snack items and UnBake Sale checklist to help them host an UnBake Sale in their school and participate in the movement to create a healthier generation. TheUnBakeSale.com features downloadable tools and do-it-yourself instructions including an UnBake Sale checklist, promotional materials, and recipes that meet the Smart Snacks in Schools nutrition standards.

Schools across the country that decide to ditch old bake sales for healthy UnBake Sales will be helping put their neighborhood one step closer to a healthier future.
