Team 1802 does not have a set amount they try to fundraise over the summer months. Instead it is used as time to do team building With returning members and new recruits while getting our name out and doing some fundraising. Makers faire is a great thing to attend if they have one in your area. County fairs area great place as well.

As for fundraising our longest one and a large focus of the summer is a garage sale. We have a building donated to us to store items and hold the sale there. In return we do some minor upkeep on the property. All items are collected from people in and around our community. We pass out flyers that we will pick up unsold items after garage sales home completed or that people just want to donate. Those who donate get a donation reciept so they can claim it on their taxes. This viturally is free money as we do not have much invested in it besides labor and water. Normally we can get $2,000 to $3,000 from this. We also do nights a Chic-fil-a where a portion of the nights income is donated to us. This normally isn't a big money maker but any little bit counts. There is also a wide variety of food places that do this.
