Go to Post I'm sure FIRST did the math. They always do the math. Just not math humans use. It was probably given to them from NASA from the aliens so we'd quit predicting the divisions before they release it. - Koko Ed [more]

Verizon Foundation has a donation program for employees who can verify 50 hours of volunteer service.
Thanks to Mark from Team 2199 for letting me know of this program.

Re: Fund Raising Ideas

On Saturday, our team hosted a car wash at the local party store, and believe it or not, our team made more money in 4 hours then the cheerleaders did in 6! Total we made around $600, and we got a few extra bonuses... One of the people getting there car washed was the VP of a local news station, and was interested in getting the program on the air, so not only did we make 6 hundsky, we also have a meeting set up to be on the news.... I definitely recommend having a car wash... Just ask a local store to donate water and you are all set!

Lightbulb Re: Fund Raising Ideas

624 generally does a carwash at our local Kroger.

However other clubs in our school have done:

Lolipop sales (HOSA)(you can buy boxes from certain companies online)(ive done this one before)

Mum and Garter sales (Band) (very annoying though)

Warm Cookie Sales (FBLA) (yum!!!)

Various order sheets (Multiple organizations)

Reusable Discount Cards (Football)

Cupon Books (football)

Running the school Store (FBLA)

Your welcome to try any of these.
However some may be harder to do than others. Ive put a by the ones i reccomend

Good Luck

Re: Fund Raising Ideas

And at every fundraiser you do (esp. ones that attract the public like pasta dinners and car washes) be sure to include your team brochure and wish list.
