This was actually for our music department, but might work well for first. we had a different twist on the car wash.
The students would go out into the community and get sponsors for however many cars they couls wash in one day. Like a walk-a thon where you'd get sponsored so much per mile.
For example, someone would sponser a kid something like ten cents a car or even a penny or some rediculously small amount like that. However, all the kids needed was about a dollar's worth of sponsers per car. then they'd have a crazy, free car wash on a Friday as everyone was leaving the student parking lot. They'd just go dwown the line in a sort of attack wash formation and wash something like four hundred cars in about an hour. Nobody complained because it was free. then the students went back to thier sponsors and collected the money.
It worked out like this.....
Every student who had at least a dollar's worth of sponsors earned four hundred dollars. Most kids would get about five dollars worth of sponsers per car though. It really adds up.
We raised enough money to buy a Yamaha G5 baby grand piano for the choir room. (about 8-10 grand).
