Broke

[BrendanB]

When our team was low on funds last season our team invested about $300 into Boston Bruins tickets and raffle supplies. Our students camped out at the town transfer station, convenience stores, elections, etc. anwhere we could sell tickets to groups of people. The result was phenominal! We raised just over $3000 in three weeks! We were inspired by another local team who raffled off gas cards to raise funds for their St. Louis trip. Considering the NHL lockout, our team is looking into finding some local gas stations we have personal connections with (through our Bruins raffle sales) to raffle off gas and heating oil cards.

During our raffle, all students participated (roughly 15 students) and they worked hard! Fundraising should be seen as a team activity not a sub-team depending on your team size.

There are a ton of ways to get funds without needing corporate sponsors but your team should find a healthy balance.

I agree with what others above have said, try to find more adult mentors!
