The bad news: I figure it will take between $8,000 and $10,000.
The good news: I am sure you will find a way.
Fund raising ideas:
A silent auction: You get items donated to the club and then hold a silent auction. We have a spaghetti dinner with our auction and usually raise between $2,000 and $3,000 dollars.
Do a business card quilt. Ask for a $5.00 donation and a business card from as many people (don't forget doctors, lawyers, plumbers, and real estate agents) as you can think of. Attach the business cards to a piece of material and display it in your pits.
Have a walk-a-thon. Get sponsors to pay $1.00 for every mile your club members walk (a max of 5 miles makes it easier to sell)
Some fast food and pizza places will let you sell coupons for them. You keep the proceeds, the buyer gets their money back when they use the coupon, the company gets more customers.
Have a rent a kid cleanup. Find an eyesore in your neighborhood and see if the Chamber of Commerce or Lions Club will pay your club to clean it up.
Talk to your local national motel chain such as Holiday Inn Express or Days Inn. See if they can get you a nice discount on rooms in Phoenix.
