Fundraiser Tips

You said that you can't go after anyone solicited by the college. Does this mean that the team in general cannot or just the college members of the team?

Anyway here is what the Aztechs did back in 1997...

1. We did the candy bar thing at a couple of Wal-Marts
Wal-Mart matched us dollor for dollor so instead of making .50 cents per bar we made $1.50 per bar. Also give a box to the members parents to bring to work the average team member slod about 2 cases yes cases (I think 100 bars per case)

2. We did the "booklet" thing (ie. wrapping paper, candle, etc...)
This never works that great anyway.

Now you've said these things don't work because of your restrictions, but if Wal-Mart isn't solicited by the school I say go for it and why can't the HS students sell the candles and stuff?

Here's the BIG #3

3. The school typed up a "solicitation" letter for all the students to give to there parents to bring to there bosses and for the students to bring to there bosses. The letter basically said how much it costs for a student to participate in FIRST. This cost included travel expenses to competitions, food, etc... this worked great! we did it just for those going to Nats. We each had to raise $1000 each. My mother's company cut the school a check for the whole amount and my Stepdads gave half.

Also the team went to pizza, sandwich, and donut shops and got the to sponsor the team by giving them food in return for there company name listed on the team shirt, website, and press releases. Remeber you need to tell the sponsor what THEY will get, they wont give you a dime if you they don't get anything.
Heck put there logo on the bot...


Good luck to your team,
