Our students raise money in a variety of ways. We petition local businesses for raffle items and the students get repaid based on how many raffkle tickets they sold. We sell KK's at football and basket ball games and the students share in the profit derpending on how much they work. We also provide concessions for the state FLL on the same basis. We have sold pies and cheesecakes, done carwashes for donations, sold candy and discount books, and some local businesses (like Target) have money available for local student organizations. Some businesses will allow students to work a day bagging and carrying out items at a store (we did IKEA one year) and pooled all the donations from customers. Short of it is, where there is a will there is a way.
BTW, some schools have a special budget or federal grants that help with travel, you might have to ride a bus, but it does get you there. Everyone who has a chance ought to go to the Championship, there is so much to see and do and learn.
