Very interested in this idea.
I do the fundraising for our team and would like to get some more specifics if I could...
How do you raise money working at a local sports arena? Do you use a vending booth of the arena and get to keep the profit from items you puchase and sell?
How does that work with cleaning up the arena do you make money from returnables or does arena pay you instead of a clean up staff?
Please advise we are ALWAYS Looking for new ideas

We do all of our fund-raising in the "off" season. We raise our money by doing a service, instead of selling stuff. Try to contact any large arena, track, fairgrounds, etc. We sell beverages and snacks at our local fair during demolition derby's. We made $1,500.+ selling this year. Our biggest fundraiser is cleaning up at a racetrack (an hour away) that hosts the Winston Cup series. We were only able to clean 2 days out of the 8 that were offered, but we still raised $2,500.00. Keep in mind we only worked 5 hours total, it is the easiest money you will ever make! We also made $1,100.00 selling coffee and hot chocolate at our local pumpkin festival. If your town hosts a tree lighting festival or anything like that, you can see if you can sell there. The added bonus to that is that you can also show your robot off. I hope this helps, I wish you luck motivating your students, that is the hardest part!
