Fundraising Ideas

Here is the easist fund raiser and makes the most $$$.


Give the kids 10 stamped envelopes, with 10 prestamped and pre addressed return envelopes. The kids need to address the first 10 envelopes to aunts, uncles, local businesses, friends, etc.... Send a letter that says you are just asking for straight donations rather than trying to sell a 1.00 candy bar etc... with a receipt at the bottom of the letter for them to fill out and keep for proof of a tax donation. We raised 10,000 last fall. We only do the fund raiser every other year.

Here's a couple we have done that were really successful:

-Lift-a-thon
-selling Krispy Kreme donuts ($5/box - football team keeps $2
-selling pizzas ($6/ea - football team keeps $2)
-We haven't done the Varsity Gold program yet, but we are considering it. Varsity Gold is the company that sells the discout cards with the school logo on it.

If you are going to sell stuff to raise money, find things that are new or things that people want. That's why the Krispy Kreme and pizza sales have been productive for us. People love Krispy Kremes (and the nearest one is over 40 miles away) and the pizza we sold were really good.

Here's the easiest one. It is called a gold rush.

Every player sends a formal letter to 10 relatives/family friends asking for a donation.
List what the money will buy.
They send the money in with the letter enclosed of how much they sent.
