School Fundraising Ideas

Helping you raise money to support your teachers and kids


I am the freshmen president and a 3000-student high school in Las Vegas. The freshmen officers have decided to sell blue "boy" and pink "girl" silicone bracelets (like the livestrong ones) for battle of the sexes week. We are selling these to the entire school. At first we were just going to sell them for just a dollar each. I thought that these bracelets would be a huge hit since things in high school quickly catch on and especially since all the most-seen student council kids were all wearing them. I thought we should order at least 500 of each bracelet. After talking to the student body officers, they think that I should only buy about 100 girl bracelets and 50 boy bracelets. The thing is, that would make each bracelet like 80 cents, so we would only making 20 cents off of each bracelet, and that is not a lot of money for a fundraiser. So should i just order 100 and 50 and sell them for 2 dollars? Or should I order more and sell them for a dollar? Help please!!!

I'd go with 500. It'd make sense to order less if you were at a smaller school, but since you have 3000 students at your school, it makes sense. Tip: don't order blue and pink. order them in your school colors, and give points to boys and girls based on whether they buy them. There's less room for mishaps. Sell them for $1.00. It shows school spirit and is great fundraising. See if you can get them cheaper.

    I agree with Climbin boi, 2 dollars a piece is still reasonable and will give you a better profit margin.

    Custom silicone bracelets are still a very popular method of generating school or team spirit. Price per bracelets lowers as quantity ordered increases, as low as $0.69 cents per bracelet. More info at:
