Form for Fundraising Squares???

[gailz2]

I recently heard about selling squares as a fundraiser, with 1/2 the funds going to the student/cause and the other 1/2 goes to the winner to be used toward PC products. Does anyone have a form they have used for this?:chef:

you mean a football pool?All it is-is 10x10 grid of squares and people buy them per square and you fill in the numbers AFTER all the squares are full.Wicked good idea!

Can someone go into more detail about this? I'm very curious!

I was told they take a sheet with 50 squares on it, sell them for $4/square, grossing $200. $100 goes to the student/fundraiser group and the other $100 goes as a gift certificate you create for the winner, who's name gets drawn by you. It is great for students who need to each earn a certain amount of money. You could probably change up the # of squares or $$ to a level their group thought they could each raise. You then collect the sheets from multiple people and put the $100 in as a party with all the others collected. Win/Win!

There are several forms in he files section. Search "pool" and they will pop up. I also offera 30 squaare version to my hosts, most dont take me up on it but those that do increase their show by $60 and someone gets $60 in free products.

Sounds like kind of a neat idea...maybe it could be slightly altered for a "March Madness" theme. I might have to try something like that.

Anyone have a letter (or paragraph) to go with the squares for a fundraiser? I have one for adding $ to a party but need one for a fundraiser. Thanks!!!

Please be very careful how you implement and promote this idea. It many states, it's considered a raffle or game of chance and requires the organizer to obtain a raffle license.
