What Our Customers Are saying


Here are some things our customers are saying about us. 

I would like to extend a huge Thank You to you and your company. After many failed attempts to raise money for my daughter's cheer squad at Independence High School, Sunset Coupons was an enormous success! We were able to do something none of the other clubs on campus were doing and the response brought in more money than any fundraiser the entire year. Thank you again and I look forward to our next fundraiser!

On behalf of the Southwest Unity Celebration Committee, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to sell the Sunset Coupon Booklets for our fundraiser. The coupon booklets literally sold themselves due to the variety of discounts offered.

Sunset Coupons Fundraiser was perfect for our organization, Peoria High School Marching Band. The students raised a nice sum of money for band without spending any money. The Booster Club said they would like to do it again.

Sunset Coupons offered our school, Red Mountain High School, an alternative to the Entertainment Book or restaurant cards – which are a dime a dozen on school campuses. it catered to businesses within our boundaries, and boosted our accounts.

Thank you so much for providing such a fantastic coupon book for us to offer as a fund raiser! The price was right and the Sunset Coupons were perfect for families or just for friends to have. We are a high school, so we found that even students like purchasing them because it made getting out with their friends more affordable. Kudos to you for offering something truly of value! We look forward to many more fund raising opportunities! Keep up the great work!

Philanthropic Donors Irwin and Joan Jacobs


Irwin Mark Jacobs was born October 18, 1933 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was the co-founder and former chairman of Qualcomm, and chair of the board of trustees of the Salk Institute. In 2010, Jacobs was listed as number 828 on Forbes's annual list of the World's Top Billionaires.  He earned his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1956, and his S.M. and Sc.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1957 and 1959, respectively. Additionally, he is a brother of Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity.

He and his wife, Joan reside in California, and have four sons. His outside interests include the arts, reading, jogging, and family outings.

Their son Paul E. Jacobs is CEO of Qualcomm. Jeff Jacobs is the Chief Marketing Officer of Qualcomm. Hal Jacobs the second oldest, played on the 1985 USA Maccabi volleyball team, and is a Co-Producer of the hit musical Jersey Boys. Their eldest son Gary Jacobs is the head of the board of the Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High Charter School. Jacobs's grandson, Adam Jacobs, is a former catcher of the Cornell University baseball team.

As the co-founder and chairman of Qualcomm, Jacobs has contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to the field of education through generous donations and grants to several schools and organizations. His donations have gone mostly towards fellowships and scholarships for deserving students in the fields of engineering and computer science, as well as the arts, and are focused in the San Diego area. The San Diego Union Tribune in 2011 dubbed him the "Philanthropist in Chief".

Jacobs has pledged $120 million for the San Diego Symphony, a similar amount for the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California San Diego, $75 million for UCSD's future specialty hospital and $20 million to replace the central library in downtown San Diego. Also in 2005 the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Center for La Jolla Playhouse was named after Jacobs and his wife in honor of their philanthropic contributions towards the institution's development.

In August 2010, Irwin and Joan Jacobs joined the Giving Pledge, pledging to give away most of their fortune to philanthropy. The Giving Pledge consists of around 40 America billionaires who have agreed to pledge 50 percent or more of their wealth to philanthropic causes. As of 2010, 50 percent of Jacob's wealth would equal $600 million. As part of the pledge, the Jacobses will choose which charities they would like to donate at least 50 percent of their estate to.

Five More Fun Fundraising Ideas


1. Selling Kisses – We did this one a few years back, and it was a big hit. The team members’ favorite (or least favorite) coaches are persuaded to join in. Jars with each coaches name are placed in a prominent location at the sports field. Which ever coach has received the most money by a given date gets to select the coach to man the Kissing Both at the next event. This is a fun fundraiser that kids, parents and coaches will enjoy.

2. Singing Telegrams – This fun fundraiser idea is great for school or church choirs. Buyers select the song, recipient and any special message. Singers visit the recipient in their homes or businesses to sing the telegram. This one is great for Valentines Day.

3. Goofy Olympics – Pick fun and silly games for an “Olympics” day. Participants pay an entry fee per game or for the whole day. Prizes (donated) are given to winners of each contest or game. Combine this program with food booths for more fun and profits.

4. Pie and cake auctions – The cooks and the sweet lovers in your group will enjoy this fun fundraiser idea! Ask for donations of cakes and pies. Label each dessert with the name of the dessert and the cook. You might even want to include the recipe with the time. Ask your most humorous and charismatic person to be the auctioneer who can entertain the crowd and boost the auction prices.

5. Casino Night – Putting together a charity fundraising event like a Casino Night Fundraiser can be a lot of work unless you're well organized. Events like these often include live entertainment, a catered dinner, live and silent auctions, sponsorships, ticket sales, tax deductible donations, and a host of other details that require plenty of advance planning.

The plus side is that a Casino Night is a great excuse for adults to get all dressed up and have a fun time, so turnouts are impressive. There are lots of charitable groups who need to raise large amounts of operating funds and these events can do a good job.  Planning and lots of organization are the keys to making it work.

Of course you can save time and hassle buy using Sunset Coupon Books for your next fundraiser and make it more successful and a lot of fun at the same time.  Let us help you have fun and have your best fundraiser of all times.

Fundraising Following Elections


As the campaigns of the presidential election raps up for 2012 it is important to note that more than two billion dollars have been raised from corporations and individuals.  How does that affect non-profits, schools and other groups that need to raise money for their different causes?

Control of how money is raised was addressed in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, also known as "McCain-Feingold", after its sponsors, is the most recent major federal law on campaign finance, which revised some of the legal limits on expenditures set in 1974, and prohibited unregulated contributions to national political parties. ‘Soft money’ also refers to funds spent by independent organizations that do not specifically advocate the election or defeat of candidates, and funds which are not contributed directly to candidate campaigns.

Much of that money has gone in to media buys to get their respective messages across.  Smaller amounts have gone into the purchase of printed materials and the rent of offices and to pay for travel expenses.

While it is much harder to find out what economic effect all of the congressional races and on down through all of the state and local offices that were campaigned for.  Countless millions were spent to fund these elections.

The money has gone back into the national and local economies.  So it is not as though the money has just vanished.  It should for some individuals and business been a boon to their income levels.

So you may want to consider certain targets for your fundraising efforts.  It might be that local news media and printers be considered as they may have been on the receiving end of these millions of dollars.

Always consider that if you are raising funds for a small school group there are targeted local coupon sales like Sunset Coupon Books that are a good vehicle for you to use in your fundraising efforts.

If your group is in the for Phoenix, Tempe / Mesa, Tucson or Salt Lake City area we are here to help you have a successful fundraiser following this years election cycle.

At Sunset Coupons we want to help you make your next fundraiser easier and more successful.  Give us a call at 602-279-0404 to find out how we can help your group.

Top Philanthropic Donors: Eli and Edythe Broad


After creating shareholder wealth by providing vital home building and retirement savings services through the two Fortune 500 companies he created, KB Home and SunAmerica, Inc., Eli Broad and Edythe, his wife of 54 years, are now devoting their time, energy and resources to philanthropy.  

As the child of immigrant parents, Eli Broad was instilled with the values of hard work, education and the dream that anything was possible. He and Edythe both attended Detroit Public Schools, and then he attended Michigan State University, graduating with a degree in accounting and becoming the youngest CPA in the state’s history. 

While working for two years as an accountant, Eli Broad saw his homebuilding clients making much more than he was, and he and Edythe’s cousin’s husband decided they, too, could build houses. Eli Broad and Donald Kaufman founded Kaufman and Broad with the simple idea that if they built houses without basements (the widespread use of gas heating rendered basements to store coal unnecessary), they could offer homes with mortgage payments that were lower than the rent for a two-bedroom apartment. The first weekend in 1956, they priced their houses at $13,740. They sold out that same weekend and were in business.

The Broads had created a family foundation in the 1960s as a way to support their charitable interests and causes. But with their financial success from the sale of SunAmerica, the Broads focused their charitable giving in a new style of investing that was more akin to their business acumen: venture philanthropy. An entrepreneur at heart, Eli Broad has applied his same spirit of creating new enterprises to the family’s approach to philanthropy.

Today, The Broad Foundations, which include The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation and The Broad Art Foundation, have assets of $2.1 billion. Their mission is to advance entrepreneurship for the public good in education, science and the arts.

In 2010, Broad backed "The Giving Pledge," an initiative started by fellow billionaires Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates for rich Americans to give at least half of their wealth to charity. Eli and Edythe Broad committed to give 75 percent of their wealth to philanthropy during or after their lifetimes.
