Re: Crunched-For-Time Fundraising

We had the same dilemma win we won at LSR last year. Except even less time. We got back from the regional on Sunday and had to be back on the bus to championship on Tuesday night.

The best way is asking for donations from people. Way better than a car wash or bake sell. In those two days we had we reapproached businesses in our town, Kansas City, and people with money. We were able to raise 12,000 dollars in two days. I know it helped that we won a regional and a three other awards and it was our first year, but I'm sure you could make money this way if you let the businesses know your situation. And make sure you send a thank you note.
