Re: Laying a Foundation
Something that we are doing is selling embroidered Team 1038 Spirit Wear. You can check out the order form here for an idea of we do it, its the link at the bottom of the page.

Basically we provide no money up front. A customers order the items, they pay and we send the order form to the Vendor to be made. Once he makes so many he sends us an invoice. All the money comes in to our account, before any goes out. After the cost of the item, the profit is split 50/50 with the vendor.
We are also planning a garage sale event at our school. Students/parents, mentors, etc. will donate any unwanted items. We tag and sell. Any items left we donate to goodwill or a local churches.
Both require no money up front.
