My granddaughter's Volleyball team is headed to Atlanta for the Junior Olympics and came up with a very creative fund raiser which of course I jumped on to help them out!

Ultimate Face Cosmetics generously donated tubes of lip gloss in its new color "Frankincense" to their team to sell. The Lip Gloss retails for $14.50 per tube, but the team is selling them for a $10 donation. This shimmery lip gloss has a fun story behind it as it was created specifically for the 2011 GRAMMY VIP Gift Bags and distributed in February to many celebrities!
They are selling like hot cakes and I've got some reserved! Love to support these kids in their activities.

Good evening Joy,

It is so easy to come up with ideas for girls! Guys are a little harder!

My girls both played in several Jr Olympic volleyball tourneys.. I so miss those days.. and lip gloss is the perfect fundraiser for girls of that age!

H9 Dorrie, supporting our grandchildren ranks high on our list of priorities. I wish your granddaughter much success in her Olympics - they may have the shiniest lips in Austin.

Hi Dorie,

That's a great idea for a fundraiser and must be very popular too! Very nice of Ultimate Face Cosmetics to donate the tubes of lip gloss for the girls. I too like the Shimmery Gold one... nice looking gloss over any color lipstick! I hope the girls do really well with this one!!

Hi Dorie, Finally a fund raiser the kids can enjoy selling and that will probably sell itself and maybe even have other girls lining up to get it! Good luck to the girls in Atlanta!
