Re: Fundraising Issues...

Our robotics team hosts a bi-annual Battle of the Bands, where we invite the students in the school who are in a band to come and play in the auditorium. We do have a snack table set up outside the auditorium that usually sells candy and soda both before the show and during intermission, but you could easily just offer water and pretzels, or chips. We make money from the tickets as well as the food.

This isn't a small event like selling food or anything, and it does require planning and a lot of team commiment, but it brings in a lot of money for our robotics team. Its very popular in the school too, especially for the members of the bands.

Another thing we're looking into doing for this year is car washes at Walmart. Walmart has a great thing where you can have a fundraiser at their stores and they'll match what you make up to $1000.
