Re: Fundraising ideas?

We find local businesses that offer organizations fundraisers. In the past year, we've been at Wendy's, Boscov's, and Apple Bees. These fundraisers raise enough for the small amount of work required.

Our main fundraisers come from what the team does more for fun.
Twice a year we have a bowling party, where each team member brings in a drink, snack, or desert. We sell tickets to kids in our school, and most everyone on the team buys one as well. We also give out a certificate for the highest scoring bowler of the night.

We also do a "Penny Party." We sell tickets to as many people as we can. Then, they bring in all their loose change, and at the door they are given tickets. Everyone on the team is asked to donate a few items as prizes. Each round, participants put in one or more of their tickets (which all have the same number as their door ticket), and for each ticket puts in that current round's cost. Then, they shuffle the tickets and pick one at random. The ticket is called, and the person who has the matching door ticket (the one who put the ticket in) gets that round's prize. The party goes on until every item won by someone, and then we raffle off a door prize. We also sell food and drinks in the back of the room. It's a fun time, and it is our biggest fundraiser.
