True Story: FrumUs to the Rescue in 24 hours!

Posted by Karen at 2009-06-16 13:57:55

My son’s Little League baseball team lost their first playoff game on Sunday afternoon and the coach invited everyone over to his house for a pool party on Monday afternoon. UGH! Nobody had collected for the coach. Maybe we all subconsciously hoped we'd be playing longer into the playoffs or maybe we're just not organized enough or (likely) both.

I quickly created a collection envelope on FrumUs, emailed the team and collected over $100 and a 
bunch of great notes (click here to see the collection page yourself --

I stopped by our local high school store to pick up a lightweight fleece pullover that the dad's all seem to love and a few small items for the assistant coaches, I found out coach’s favorite alcoholic beverage and picked up a bottle, wrapped it all up and VOILA – I showed up at the party with a great gift and card with sentiments from all! One family opted to pay me in person....NO PROBLEM because I'm going to transfer all the money collected from my PayPal account into my bank account (which is free at PayPal) to cover the charges.

I think people sometimes believe they can't use FrumUs if they are short on time or if they want to purchase something that's not featured on the website. NOT TRUE! We are here to make it easy for you to organize group gifts no matter WHAT the occasion or the time constraints.

In fact, FrumUs has now been helping make group gift giving easier for a year .

Some people are using FrumUs for charity collections, team payments and more!

So spread the word and thanks for reading our blog.
