Fundraising Issues...

[Cynette]

With the issuance of our school's ban on candy, soda and the like, they published an extensive list of approved snacks. If your district has a list like that, you can still opt to sell some of those items. Some of the items on our list would still satisfy the sweet tooth. Just think beyond the pretzel! Maybe you can sell fancy dips to go with everyone elses pretzel sale. Mustard, cheese, fruit dip, chocolate sauce (low fat low sugar style) would all be yummy. Ok, now I'm hungry!

I can think of two right off the top of my head.

1) The robot. You've got one in the storage room. Get some poof balls and a corner goal, and make up some sort of challenge. (Whoever rounds up the most poof balls in one minute over the course of a lunch period, say, gets a T-shirt.) Batteries might become an issue, as will wear and tear, but you should be able to rack up some considerable cash this way.

2) Mini golf. It's been done before, so build a few holes (or even one), get some balls and clubs, and let folks take a swing at things (literally).

There's plenty of ways to get the money; you've just got to be creative about it.

Hang a tire. Mark a line far away. Charge people to throw a football through the tire. Give a good prize if they make it. You could also do basketball long shots.

A few teams I've worked with in the past have sold glow products from This company They have high quality products and fast shipping.

My team is going to try selling glow stuff at Football games this fall. It won't make a ton of money but it's easy enough that it's worth it.
