ABOUT FUNRAISINGSCHOOLGEAR

Fun-Raising School Gear’s (FRSG) founder Marni Bartolomea spent over 20 years in the apparel business. When her oldest child started elementary school in 2004 Marni joined the school’s PTA. She learned that one of the volunteer responsibilities was Spirit Wear. She immediately recognized that her past experience in the fashion industry would be very valuable. The other PTA members at her school were excited when she pitched them the idea of offering them “trendy, fashion forward” apparel like they buy in small boutiques.



With her experience she knew she could get apparel that everyone would buy at a cost that families at the school could afford. Before she realized it, other local schools were asking Marni to help them update their spirit wear too. Little by little the word spread from one community to the next. She had to come up with a name and a label for her apparel. The name became Fun-Raising School Gear because as Marni likes to say she wants everyone to have 'Fun Raising Money' and 'Fun Raising Spirit and Pride' while wearing or selling school gear.
