steps to turn your mascot into a fundraiser

The mascot forms:

• The process begins with securing sponsors and working with WSI on detailed concept drawings and specifications.
• The next step is to turn these drawings into scale models. We create small models of your mascot or character, based on the approved concept drawings.
• The style, detail, dimensions, and finish of the model is used as a guide for the full-sized pattern.
• Once the model has been enlarged into this full-sized pattern, we use the pattern to make our production molds.
• We use these molds to fabricate replicas of your animal in the quantity you need.

The campaign:

• While we are fabricating your animal sculptures, you will have time to promote the campaign and shop around for your sponsors and local artists.
• After the artists are selected, you can provide each of them with our "Helpful Artists Hints" package and a fiberglass animal form to decorate.
• Once the artists are finished with their clever transformations, the forms can be displayed around your town or campus.
• The process concludes with an auction of your decorated animal sculptures. These whimsical and artful mascots and characters will be purchased and proudly displayed by prominent business owners, municipalities and individuals throughout your region.
