Re: Fundraising Goal
A brainchild of one of our team members and parents, CIS 4607 started doing a Garage sale last fall. We put out a notice in our local paper and asked for used goods donations. We asked people to donate and we would then sell them at a very reasonable price and the unsold items were to be donated.
We were overwhelmed by the outpour of support. We then set up the garage sale as a "Pay what you think it is worth" style of sale. This did two things for the team - it saved on time tagging the items, and it allowed people that wanted the items to pay what they wanted or could pay for them.
People were actually overpaying for what the items were worth. And people that may not have had the funds to pay were able to 'purchase' the items for free.
It was a hit raising $1000 in a day. We are doing it again this fall.
