DirtyBird213 is on a distinguished road
As an advisor for the "Dirty Birds" we have learned a lot about fund-raising! One of the major things we learned is to NOT fund-raise during build time! 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!
