Industry: Education

Press Release Summary: On August 14th promotional fund raising experts USB Source
will be hosting a nation-wide on-line seminar. The purpose of the seminar will be to
explain in depth the new fund raising paradigm, look towards its future and put
forth new ideas and programs available for fund raising for the educational
community.

Press Release Body: "In the past 20 years the fundraising industry has been pretty
simple" states fundraising expert Peter Thomas of USB Source." There was candy,
coupon books and a wide array of decreasingly effective fundraising products.

The need to raise funds in the educational sector is reaching a critical stage. With
tax bases declining and enrollment shifting from district to district and the
allocation of funds trailing the changes at the district level many schools, teams
and extra-curricular activities are facing financial shortfalls. Across the country
nearly 62% of all educational facilities have enacted dedicated voluntary
fundraising committees. The emergence of paid fundraising experts is even now a
growing trend at the high school and team sports level.

Now the consumer is demanding far more sophisticated products when supporting
fundraising drives. Items such as flash drives, digital picture frames, digital
cameras and other techy gadgets are now increasing in popularity as fundraising
items. As wholesale prices have fallen for these items the fundraising community has
seen the positive potential of these items. Returns of up to 300% are not uncommon.

Peter Thomas of USB Source goes on to explain. " We have years of fundraising
experience and in the past 12 months we have seen tremendous success with programs
such as flash drives. We own the factory and can supply the educator and fundraiser
a secure and proven supply chain tied to a wealth of ideas that all culminate in
significant profit for the fundraiser. The on-line seminar is intended to provide a
forum for these new ideas."

USB Source is located in Phoenix Arizona. Free sign up for the fundraising seminar
is available at their web site August 10th.
