Re: Need New Fundraising Ideas!

While i was in Annapolis, I spoke to the team from Immaculata High School in Somerset, NJ (sadly I can't remember their team number...12 something) about fundraising. They told me about how a group of students gets together outside of local stores and sell sodas and such. They talk about how it's for a good cause, and nearly everyone buys a soda or brownie or whatever else they happen to be selling that day. I know when my team does car washes, and we talk about FIRST and the good cause people tend to give us an extra $5 or $10. So make sure to hype up FIRST and get your potential customers interested in the cause and you'll be that much more successful.

I wonder...would it be illegal to sell girl scout cookies as a fundraiser?
