Yep! Everything from backpack stoves to little fold-up units for when you go camping in the woods, to monsters like this. The one our church youth group used last spring was maybe 8-10 feet long, mainly used for the pancake griddle. I've seen the mid-sized ones used in a couple other places, too. You can be out in the middle of a community soccer field and have a real kitchen sink, complete with hot and cold running water.

Somewhere, somehow, some inventive geniuses think up wonderful things like these...

We managed to make $1441.80 off of the breakfast (thats minus grocery costs). In addition to that we also had a raffle with all donated baskets and raised $966.50 on that. We also sold some baked goods for $73.50. So in total we raised 2481.80 of pure profit in one day.

That's awesome. The pancake breakfasts and pasta dinners are usually no-brainers for fundraisers. People like to eat. That's why NEMO created the white papers on them.

We sold tickets for $5/piece, under age 5 free. Each student was given 10 tickets to pre-sell. Tickets were also available at the door. We ran an article in our weekly town paper each week, starting three weeks prior. Our community is very supportive of school activities. We held our breakfast in conjunction with a Mini-robot competition, inviting an area team and their mentee, and a team we are mentoring. Parents took care of serving pancakes, sausage, juice, milk, and coffee. Students took care of competition details. Two enthusiastic moms took on the raffle and collected over $1200 donated items from area businesses, put together 20 great baskets, sold tickets for $1/piece, 6 for $5, 25 for $20. People put their tickets in the can that went with what they wanted to win. Our popular privately owned pizza place donated a certificate good for 1 pizza a month for a year worth $150! There were 178 tickets in this can!! Event combined fund raising, raising awareness of FIRST, and networking among new teams in the area.

Because of the huge lag in communications right now (taking to long to talk to the right people) we have decided to postpone the fundraiser until post-shipping. Thank you for all of the suggestions, as they will be taken into consideration. If any more pop up, don't hesitate to post them!
