My son is running for president of this sophmore class. We are looking to find new, different, fundraising ideas. I would appreciate any ideas you may have. Seems like they do the same thing every year.

   he could have a senior garage sale at the school on saturday with donated items or part of the proceeds to benifit his campaign
   he could have a car wash
   he could hold a lottery or 50/50 raffle
   but ive found the best way to keep some cash flowing is selling candy bars and chips or pop at lunch time

   When I was in highschool (in college now, so not too out of date!) we did things like:

   Candy grams- Can buy chocolate heart shaped lolly pops for anybody in the school for a $1 or 2 and people will deliver them to the classrooms as a “personal candy gram delivery”
   (For Valentines day) or make it a candy cane for christmas ETC.

   There was this REALLY cool one that a lot of people loved where we had everybody take a survey in class about themselves and then the answers were sent out to this company that derived matches for each test with a list of compatible lovers and friends. It was free to take but cost $5 to get the results. So of course everybody ending up buying it because they were so curious as to who was their best match!! (You’ll have to search the internet for the company because i can’t remember the name for the life of me).

   We also did car washes for a DONATION rather than a fee. People tended to donate more that way and plus there are some sticky rules about charging a specific fees for a wash on school property. (at least in MA there is)

   School dances are AWESOME money makers. A costume dance for halloween or something like that. You can get a great DJ for a couple hundred dollars. You must also have Cops and a janitor. Other than that, $5-10 door charge and you will make great profit.

   Krispy Kreme donuts were also big at our school. We had a 10 minute break in the morning and we sold them outside of the cafeteria. They sold FAST!

   If i can remember anymore i’ll let you know. good luck!

   Hi there! I work with a company that has several easy to use, low cost or even no cost fundraiser programs. Do you have a few friends and family members who might be excited to help you with your project? Maybe even a campus or church newspaper you could post a web address in? Would they like a great deal on Netflix, Vista Print, As Seen On TV, or even a golf swing training system? I can help you make a web page (in about 15 minutes) that has excellent offers from all of these companies and more. Best of all, it doesn’t cost anything for you to set up or use! Every time a friend or family member uses one of these offers (like Netflix for $14.99), you will earn between $3 and $25 dollars, depending on the offer. We also have scratch and help cards, spinners, the ABC fundraising card with buy one get one pizza offers, and more! Email me back and I can get you started.
