Sandy Totten, Director of Operations for ten McDonald’s locations in Connecticut

“After working with James Thomson and the NFP Sports team for more than 15 years, I can say that I will never work with a different high school fundraising partner.   This is a huge win-win for us as a participant in the low-cost NFP Sports program.   First, the program itself is excellent - it teaches kids valuable life skills and allows them to generate significant funds for their sports teams.   Further, it allows us to get a valuable ongoing promotion in the hands of local customers with whom we want to establish long term, loyal relationships.   We know the program is working because we see the cards coming in to our restaurants all the time.   In addition, the kids selling the discount offers bring their families and sports teams into the restaurant.   It’s impossible to ignore the impact the NFP Sports program has had on our business - not just from a sales perspective, but also from a community outreach perspective.

But that’s only part of the story.   The success has been great, but that’s not the only reason we are loyal to the NFP Sports team.   I can’t say enough about James’ approach.    Ever since our first meeting, he has proven to be one of the most professional, outgoing, and diligent businessmen I’ve ever worked with.   It’s a joy working with NFP Sports because James makes it easy and fun for us to connect with young people and give back to the high school sports programs that shape their lives.”
