Florida Family Launches Bee Authentic Fundraising Business

March 3, 2011

Fort Myers, FL – A new Southwest Florida company offers unique natural and organic alternatives to traditional school fundraising product lines. The brainchild of founder Ralph Williams, Bee Authentic provides an attractive and affordable product line for school and non-profit fundraising. "Our products offer students real-life lessons in environmentalism and sustainability," says Williams. "We are proud to offer American-made products and most are from Florida as well."

Schools on both the local and national levels have begun to rely more heavily on parent-teacher organizations to raise funds for arts, field trips and other educational programs that have been cut due to budget restraints. Williams saw this as an opportunity to help schools and non-profits generate revenue while supporting American workers and sustainable business practices. “Bee Authentic offers coffee from responsible coffee growers,” states Williams, “and our coffee is certified organic and fair trade, and roasted here in Florida. We also sourced filtered water bottles made from US corn resin that are reusable up to 90 times.” The Bee Authentic product line has recently garnered attention from schools as far away as Michigan and Arizona.
