Raffle $7000 (net)
Murder Mystery Dinner $1000/show minimum
Working concert venue concession stands during the summer (8 shows) ~$11000
The raffle idea we leveraged from another team. We purchase a used laptop, digital camera and PDA and make that our top three prizes with many additional donated prizes (this info is printed on the ticket). We sell tickets from print time until the open house on the saturday before ship when we draw the winners. Last year we sold raffle tickets for about a month and we netted ~$7000 (after ~$1700 for main prizes) This is a must do. It sells itself. $3/ticket or 4 for $10. I recommend this fund-raiser to all teams! Just be sure to get a raffle license/permit (usually costs ~$70) and then you are totally legal. Our team ended up raising enough so that each student only had to pay $50 each to go to the National Competition! Try it, you'll like it! -Joe
