I was wondering how you all raise money? We just got a mill and the tooling is expensive... we'll probably not be able to finance it via our regular budget (maybe $700 or so remaining... and we'll spend about 400 or so on programmer stuff..)

Our team has no regular sponsors. We fund raise year round. Our typical fund raisers are as follows:
1. Cotten Candy Sales (community fairs and football games)
2. Cleaning up our schools football stadium after home games. (a disgusting job but good money)
3. Donut sales (We make $500.00 for every 200 dozen we sell)
4. Yard Sales (We have two or three a year and make around $800 at each one. Our yard sales are called the dollar store because everything is $1.00) This is a good fund raiser because we are out no money
5. Small donations when we go door to door to local companies (We are in a very rural area)
6. Candle sales (Our students earn $4.00 for every candle they sell towards their motel costs. Some students don't have to pay anything)
Money is always a problem but we always end up raising it in the end. This year an unexpected trip to nationals has us scrambling but we are half way to our needed $9000.00
