It's easy to ask people to come to Rubio's — they love it as much as a sunny day. They can feel good about the food they eat and the contribution they'll make, too. Rubio's has helped hundreds of organizations, and now yours can benefit from this easy-to-organize program with generous rewards. See you at the fiesta.
After you've reserved your Fiesta Fundraiser online, take these steps to create the biggest turnout and largest donation to your cause.
- Put a flyer in your organization's newsletter.
- Announce your Rubio's Fiesta Fundraiser on your website, and add a link to a downloadable PDF of the flyer.
- Attach the flyer to an e-mail going out to the family, friends, office, etc.
- Call your local newspaper. They're always looking for information on charitable events in the community.
- Pass out flyers during large gatherings, group meetings, training sessions and area sporting events.
- Announce the fundraiser on the P.A. system at another local event.
- Share the details in your online invitations, such as Evite.
- Announce the event on your blog, Twitter, Facebook or MySpace page.
- To increase the funds raised by your organization, encourage people to order Rubio's a-Go-Go catering platters for their group, home or office during your event. (Must place order a day in advance.)
- Most important, cast a wide net. Talk to everybody. There are plenty of fish in the sea (not to mention the ones in our tacos). The more people that come to your Fiesta Fundraiser, the more money your fund-lovin' organization will earn. And don't worry if everyone can't stay for dinner. They can order take-out or pick up a Rubio's a-Go-Go catering platter, too.
- When can I expect to receive my check? Your fundraiser check will be issued 4-6 weeks after your event. If it has been more than 6 weeks since your event and you still have not received a check, please contact Rubio's Customer Service at 1-800-354-4199.
- How much money did my organization make at our fundraiser? Please visit your online fundraiser account, or contact the General Manager of the restaurant where you held your fabulous fiesta fundraiser to find out how much money your organization earned. This information is available three days after your event. Use our online store locator to find the phone number or address.
No. They have several options. If everyone can't stay for dinner, guests can order take-out or pick up a Rubio's a-Go-Go catering platter. Their purchases will get credited to your fundraiser so long as they present a flyer.
Please note that Rubio's a-Go-Go catering selections — perfect for parties or family meals, or after a soccer game or church gathering — must be ordered at least 24 hours prior to your fundraiser. After you reserve your fundraiser online, call the general manager at your Rubio's so they know your order is for your fundraiser. When you go to the restaurant to pick up the order, be sure to take a flyer with you.
Be sure you are choosing a day shown in white on the calendar. Days that are not available are shown in gray. If you are having any problems scheduling a fundraiser, please contact the restaurant directly. They will be happy to help you plan your fundraiser.
If you expect a very large turnout with more than 250 attendees from a widespread area, you may host your fundraiser at up to three restaurants simultaneously. Enter the total number of guests (minimum 250), and you will see an option to select multiple restaurants. All selected restaurants will appear on the same advertising flyer.
You may schedule one fundraiser every four weeks. At least two weeks' notice is required. You can schedule up to six months in advance.
You may change your fundraiser date or time with at least 48 hours notice of the originally scheduled event by contacting the General Manager at the restaurant where you are planning to hold your event. Use our online store locator to find the phone number or address.
