My sister and a few of her team mates don’t have the money to compete in Disney World in the spring. They are out of ideas for fundraising… they can’t do bake sales in their school because they can’t sell anything with sweets and they can’t have a school dance. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Thanks for all your help :)

My high school dance team just had a dance fundraiser. What they did was hold a dance class for anyone at the school that was interested. So basically after school for like 2 hours they taught people dance stuff. We did warm up, stretching, practiced/taught leeps, turns, across the floor stuff. Then some choerographie to anyone who was interested. It was easy and they just charged 5 dollars. It was pretty fun and a decent fundraiser.

I am the Treasurer of my high school, and I want to start a fund raising project so that I can help raise money for my school. We have a big student population (~4000 students) so I want to try to get the most students to participate. Originally, I was planning on collecting Box Tops 4 Education, but unfortunately I found that the Box Tops 4 Education Program does not support high schools. So please give me any advice or suggestions/ideas regarding about fund raising. I really want to do a great job as the school’s treasurer, so any suggestion or comment is helpful and much appreciated! Thank you!

What about a Coffee fundraiser?
Specialty coffee and beverages is an exploding market nationwide and people are going to buy it anyway, therefore, why not have some of the money profit your group/organization. Java Joe’s Roasting Company is an upstate New York based coffee roaster, who specializes in fundraising. Organizations will realize a profit of $2.50 or more per bag sold. The products will be customized to promote your organization (free of charge) and there are no set up fees or minimums. This fundraising program is equitable and offers your supporters a first class practical product that is perfect for every day use. Good luck! I hope I was able to help.

p.s. My son’s preschool made $2,496 during a 2 week campaign.

Tree decorated for Valentine's Day in San Dieg...

by Jamie Jefferson

Whether you are a parent of a teen or a teen yourself, you know the importance of having funding for extracurricular activities. Youth groups, sports teams, bands and other high school activities all need to raise money. Fundraisers can be fun if you know how to put a new twist on typical fundraisers. Successful fundraising is just a few steps away if you follow these ideas.

1. Baked Potato Dinner. A lot of groups do pancake breakfasts or spaghetti dinners, but serving baked potatoes and all of the fixings is a great way to raise money. Potatoes are relatively inexpensive and can be baked in bulk. You can buy cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, broccoli, butter and chili in bulk packages. Find somewhere to hold the dinner, like the school cafeteria, where there is enough room for everyone. The students can sell tickets ahead of time and also at the door.

2. Picnic Basket Auction. This idea works well at another event, like a back to school night or school carnival. It can also be done independently. Provide a picnic basket for each student and then have them decorate and fill it with food with a budget of $10. Each picnic basket is raffled off in a silent auction.

3. Singing or Musical Telegrams. These are perfect for a high school band or chorus and work well around Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day. Students can sell telegrams at school and participants fill out the recipient’s name, their address (or room number if the telegrams are to students) and then have the students deliver the telegrams on a specific date. Search online for lyrics for a singing telegram, or have band members play a piece of appropriate music.

4. Growing Kit. Buy seeds in bulk for fast growing flowers and then purchase some clay pots from a surplus garden store. Have a meeting with the teen group where you all fill the pots with potting soil, attach the seeds to the outside and then wrap up the pot with cellophane and ribbon. Sell the pots at a flat rate around school and in the community. This fundraiser works well in the spring and before Mother’s Day.

5. Candy selling with a twist. Instead of selling the standard bars of candy why not make some candy from scratch and sell it at a premium price? People enjoy homemade candy more than commercially made bars. You can distribute recipes to the group, or if the high school club is small, you can organize a candy making party. The pieces can sell for higher amounts that regular candy and you can keep most of the profits.

6. Group yard sale. This one requires a bit of organization, but it’s well worth it. Have all the members bring clothes, toys and household items the week before the sale. One group of students can organize the items and price them, while the other can canvas the neighborhoods with signs. The day of the yard sale you can sell muffins in the morning and chili toward the afternoon as an additional form of fundraising.

AND….Can someone explaining to me about the selling candy fundraiser?

10 points for coolest ideas!

Well the best buy I made off someone selling stuff to raise money was a case of Dr. Pepper. Every year the school somehow was able to sell off cases (24) of the 20 ounce bottles. Normally they’re 1.39 on up each but for a case it was 20. To add to that almost every bottle I purchased had a winning cap for a free Dr. Pepper. My sisters friend at work sold them to co-workers for his son. Soon after I got my case of Dr. Pepper though he had a heart attack and died. If I knew where I could get a bargain like that though I would.

When I was in band in high school the teacher had a good idea though. He bought boxes of candy and put $10-15 dollars worth in gallon Ziploc bags and the students sold them. If they’re priced reasonably especially if it’s cheaper then the candy machines that is a good idea.

Or sell home made goodies during lunch, between classes or after school. Cookies, pickles, candies, soda. On election day I worked at an elementary school where they had that set up the day before the election when we were setting up. We all made trips there for soda and snacks.

Have a community yard sale. Ask for permission to set up in the school parking lot or maybe someone’s house and advertise. Ask for donations from friends, family or neighbors who might have stuff they don’t want and are willing to give up.
