Fundraising

[Walter Deitzler]

Hello Teams,
In the past 2 years, my robotics team has gone only to one reigonal (St. Louis), but now that we are beginning to get more into FIRST, we want to attend another. The reason we haven't been to more than one is a problem that plauges many FIRST teams, budget. We do a little fundraising each year, and our school gives us enough to attend the St. Louis reigonal, but that leaves us with only just enough money to build our robot (our BOM this year was just over $300). We were able to get the school district to pay for the championship after we won in St. Louis , but now this year we are back to the $5000 to pay for one reigonal.
If you could post some fundraising ideas, it would be much appreciated. Keep in mind that with only 10 people, we are a small team, and most of our members are already juggling FIRST with 5 or 6 other activites. We need to raise $4000 before build season.

Thanks for your help!

I always point people asking this type of question to http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=63, the Fundraising subforum, specifically http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=68044.

If you can't find any ideas in those places, you're probably not looking hard enough.
