Every year my team does various fundraisers and our team has about 40 or so students on it. Each students is REQUIRED to raise $450 each year or they will not be allowed to go to Florida with us. so 40x450=$18000. Even some students like my self cap the 1000 mark because I know for a fact that our team needs money.
We all decide on prices for various levels of sponsorships. For instance I think last year we set the bar at $75 for a small name on a shirt and the prices go up to around $500 dollar for various spots on our robot and the cart and in our pit.
We also do side fundraisers like a car was in October. Bake Sales at our school wrestling matches (our school has an exceptionally good wrestling team, which inturn brings in more money). Also, 2 years ago we did lolligrams for Valentines day and that also was a hit.
The last idea, our French Club does a Carnation sale during Valentines day. They get the Carnations donate or for a fraction of the regular cost and they just write out a little card that says your name, who its too, and a little message along with a carnation for $1.
I have some more suggestions you can email me for some or Instant Message me
