Fundraising, especially for teams with financially challenged sponsors, can be a very daunting task. Every weekend, our calendar is filled with car washes, can drives, pizza kit sales, etc.....
Last year, one of our students wrote a matchmaker program, which led to "the Cupid Matchmaker Fundraiser." During Valntines week we had all of the students in the building fill out a 20 question questioneer. On Valentines day, students could then purchase their matchmaker portfolio for a nominal fee. It was a complete hit, and this year we plan on doing the fundraiser twice: once during the week of Sweetest day, and once during Valentines week. Last year, we raised close to $700. Doing it twice (the questions need to be changed), brings the potential of $1,200, or more. As an additional fundraiser, we are making this program, directions, and all of the supporting materials available for $75. Our building is relatively small, so your profit potential may be even higher!
