: 'Last year the students (31) raised over $1,000 each.'

: Uhm, how'd you manage that??? What kind of fundraisers do you do??? Our students hafta raise the money to get them to nationals.. This year it was $600.. The team picked up the cost for the travel stuff to regionals.. We require the students to sell $60 worth of candy to be able to send the skeleton crew we sent to regionals this year.. All other fundraising get split 50/50 between the individual and the team..

We gave presentations to Civic Clubs, Banks, other business and asked for donations. Being in a small town really helps here because the local paper ran a front page article every Monday for six weeks so everyone in town knows about FIRST. We live in a vacation/resort area with fishing being a large activity. Ranger Boats donated a new Bass Fishing Boat, we bought the motor, and then raffled the package. This was a very successful venture. Ranger Boats got a tax deduction, lots of good publicity and we raised alot of money!
