Need New Fundraising Ideas!

[BandChick]

While i was in Annapolis, I spoke to the team from Immaculata High School in Somerset, NJ (sadly I can't remember their team number...12 something) about fundraising. They told me about how a group of students gets together outside of local stores and sell sodas and such. They talk about how it's for a good cause, and nearly everyone buys a soda or brownie or whatever else they happen to be selling that day. I know when my team does car washes, and we talk about FIRST and the good cause people tend to give us an extra $5 or $10. So make sure to hype up FIRST and get your potential customers interested in the cause and you'll be that much more successful.

I wonder...would it be illegal to sell girl scout cookies as a fundraiser?

Girl scout cookies? probably.

FIRST scout cookies? definitely. just get your team's scout to approve 'em. autograph 'em, even.

Ah, another time that calls for FIRST water...I really think we should hoard the stuff in atlanta next year.

Our team sells candy in local businesses. We purchase the candy in wholesale lots from a local distributor. By purchasing it wholesale and in bulk we're able to make a 50% profit on some of it.

RAGE had a carwash, and put out the "twin britneys" to get cars, then we made LOTS of good money, plus we had a good system to keep cars moving.
Another thing we did, sell fish, cheap goldfish in bowls w/ water and a few rocks $4, 12 sold and people asked for more, 50% profit i believe
What happens if you don't sell them (although we didn't have that problem) some team members get new pets
