Re: Fund Raising Ideas

If you go to Fazoli's (if any are near your team), you can volunteer to serve breadsticks for a night, and you get a profit. Sure, it won't work during the six weeks, but after... You can also sell Krispy Kremes for a fundraiser. During the summer, our team does car washes at the nearest McDonalds. We got around $700 for just one day! Our orchestra had to raise a ton of money, so every student was responsible for making a basket (photograpy, italian, couch potato, Colts, Pacers, whatever you want), and all were auctioned at a starting price of $25 (do the math; a 20 person team means at least $500). Another thing you might want to consider is instead of getting money from sponsors, ask for something that you can put at a silent auction (like a TV or something; we got one for our orchestra's auction once) or some of your teams items (like a shirt or a piece of CNC'd aluminum with your logo; people will love it!). That way, you can do the fundraising dinner and the auction in one huge, gigantic fundraiser!

Good luck!
