“I was very impressed with the quality of product and it was very easy for the members of our volleyball team to sell. The sheets sold themselves. We had to do another campaign because previous customers wanted to order more. It was a very successful fundraiser and we will be partnering with Sweet Sheets® again in the future!” - Karen
