<p>anyone know of a good fundraiser that can generate a decent amount of money?</p>
<p>sell stuff.</p>
<p>uhh...any ideas with a little more detail? Like could someone describe a fundraiser that went really well for them?</p>
<p>Car washes can work very well if properly advertised and if it has a good attendence (car washers). One of the better ones I've been in has made about $400 in a 5ish hour span.</p>
<p>yeah carwashes. We got about 300$ for a day's work.. $5 each. But most people paid $10 because it was for the SADD club and all parents support and love the SADD club dearly.</p>
<p>Oh and we are holding this kids fundraising thing this weekend. It's mainly for Starship Hospital (kids hopital) and we are holding it at elem school fairs. A lot of parents come along to school fairs and all their children want their face painted and want to play various games to win a small prize like an eraser lol And these things cost $$.
And parents like kids hospitals too.. So they usually put in more money than usual..</p>
<p>I've helped with a couple of fundraisers at my old schools and change drives usually generate a lot of money. What we did was pick two or three spots with a lot of traffic, put up signs stating our cause and where we're from, and have big bins where people can drop off their change. People like it because it's for a good cause, and change is a thing people usually want to get rid of. Once we made $900 working one Saturday.</p>
<p>It depends on if you live in a small town or big city. I live in a small town, so when we do fundraisers, we sometimes do a benefit concert with the FFA string band or a local rock group. The whole town shows up. We usually either charge admission or take donations.</p>
<p>We got $500 for one carwash on a Saturday, and we aren't a big team or anything (it was for JSA). I've heard of large sports teams making upwards of $1000.</p>
<p>I'm planning an upcoming fundraiser of selling t-shirts at Fall State (a conference) for $15-we hope to make about $10 a shirt. </p>
<p>For Boy Scouts, we do a wreath selling fundraiser. We can get them for about $4-5 and sell them for $10. It is pretty lucrative when we sell about 300 wreaths. </p>
<p>Lastly, for Boy Scouts I started up a Pancake Breakfast a couple of years ago, and have been leading it ever since. We sell tickets for like $4 and make a decent sum ($~1000). My only warning is that this is a lot of work.</p>
<p>I think the carwash is the best bet, especially while the weather stays nice (IDK where you live but w/e). They require very little planning and are fun. Selling wreaths/t-shirts is next difficult, and then the Pancake Breakfast, although fun, is the most difficult to pull off successfully.</p>
<p>the problem is that my school only allows 2 fundraisers for each club....soooo dumb... we really want to go to mexico for spanish club this year, but we are low on funds and each ticket runs around 1600. We don't expect the club to pay for everything, but 1600 is a lot for most families, so anything ideas that have been good money makers is GREATLY appreciated...</p>
<p>JT, it is summer all year around, so weather isnt really a problem. and i live in a pretty small town.</p>
<p>Sell muffins at break. My Science Olympiad advisor has a deal with Costco to buy/sell those big things they call muffins but are really miniature cakes. The students at my school go gaga and practically shove money in our faces</p>
<p>At break? Are you talking about time in between classes or people's study periods? If the whole school has a break period, then when can I sign up? :p jk.</p>
<p>they don't let us sell food during school hours, only food tickets</p>
<p>Sorry. Bummer. But your floors are probably squeaky-clean :)</p>
<p>idk if u live in KS "can for kansas?" lol that was cheezy</p>
<p>thanks for all the input...any more suggestions?</p>
