Re: How much do you need to raise?

1) None

2) The local regional is free because we take a bus there. It's like 15-20 minutes to drive there from our school. But for the one we travel to, the students can fundraise as much as they want. The more they fundraise, the less they have to pay out of their pockets.

3) No. If no one fundraises anything, then they all just have to pay for their travel. But I'm sure if we don't raise at least $4000 dollars then we aren't going to a second competition. None of the money we get from sponsors goes to students, only a couple of mentors for travel.

4) Sponsors, Lego Summer camps, Lego Meet, FRC Off-season event, Mall Gift-wrapping, Simon Mall Gift of Giving tickets. Last year we had an iPod raffle, but that didn't go as well as planned. We made half as much as we hoped to make. Maybe other teams would like to try it out.

The Lego Summer Camp is definately one of our biggest fundraisers. We had 18 campers this year who came in for a week at $200 each. Every year 166 gives out a $4000 dollar scholarship to one senior for outstanding efforts on their 3 or 4 years of being on the team. After that one Lego Camp, we pretty much had the scholarship covered.
