Fundraisers
There will be several fundraisers available to help youth pay for their mission trip. Most people who make a decent effort can pay for their entire trip by fundraising.

Kwik Trip Gift Cards
Kids are encouraged to sell Kwik Trip gift cards to friends, neighbors, family, or coworkers of their parents. Cards are sold at face value but we receive 5% of the each cards value.
Kwik Trip Car Wash Cards
Kids can sell car wash cards to friends, family, or others and make about $20 per card sold. Cards are sold for $40 and include 5 Ultimate Car Washes.
Stock in Our Youth
