Smile Duct tape a teacher to the wall

As a rookie team this year, we had no ideas for non-build season fund raisers. We went to a small informational FRC meeting "Splash" before the kick-off, and there we met the Edina team. They were very helpful in recommending fund raising ideas to us, and one idea that they had come up with but not yet tried was duct taping a teacher to the wall. We took that idea and expanded on it, getting four teachers and our principal to volunteer for the event. We talked to our city paper, who published an ad for us, and printed out posters for us to put up around town. We sold duct tape for 50 cents a foot, or 10 feet for $4. Half way through, we lowered the price to 25 cents a foot. We did the teachers in shifts, so they wouldn't all be standing on chairs for hours at a time. IT went really well, raising us around 250. All the materials were donated, and many younger kids came to duct tape the teachers (mostly his kids and their friends). I would recommend this as a fun pre-season kick off for your own town/city and as a fund raiser. It's fun for all, and the teachers were even laughing! We also timed how long each teacher remained stuck to the wall, and our, uhm, 'largest' teacher remained on the wall for almost an entire minute, and was only beat by our science teach, at almost 2 minutes held to the wall by duct tape only!
