THE TRUTH BEHIND CA SB 12/19 -
CAN WE STILL SELL CHOCOLATE AS A FUNDRAISER?

SACRAMENTO, CA - So what exactly do SB12 (aka the Escutia Bill) and SB19 say? The Bills amend previous Education Code nutrition guidelines for items that are "sold to a pupil during the school day" - such as lunch and snacks - and actually exclude school-sponsored fundraisers so long as they comply with the Bills' guidelines (such as not selling to students during school hours). Regency Fundraising, Inc. is a strong supporter of educating children and adults alike about healthier living and, as a result, has the most extensive selection of nutrition-friendly fundraisers! To find out more, visit our Nutrition-Friendly page. You can also read more about SB12 and SB19 by visiting the State's web site.

Nearly all items comply with the State guidelines and may be sold to students during school hours. Visit our Nutrition-Friendly page to find out more.
