How to Organize a Successful High School Senior Grad Fundraiser?

[ChefMary412]

Anyone ever organize a senior grad fundraiser? I just got one offered to me. It is a high school... and the kids are the first group of students that I taught! It is so exciting. I just was wondering how you organized a big one like this.
Full catalog or mini?
order forms?
kick-off>>
etc.

I'm doing one now. I gave each student selling 2 catalogs, and about 10 mini-catalogs that they could give to people who wanted to keep one. I also have a few more packs of minis on hand just in case. I also just used outside order forms that I printed myself. I had the organization pay for the catalogs b/c I wasn't about to pay for that many myself. They didn't mind one bit and knew they would recuperate it in sales!

I'm doing a decent sized fundraiser with my girls' dance studio. I'm doing a pkt. with 2 cattys, 2 outside order forms (with two 1/2 size order blanks). I'm also going to put some mini's in there with a label that says "Like what you see? There's more online. Visit (my website)."

Thanks for the ideas. I think I am going to have to ask for money for the catalogs. There are about 150 kids in the graduating class.

Hi there! Congratulations on being offered the opportunity to organize a senior grad fundraiser for your former students. That must be such a special and exciting experience for you. I have organized several fundraisers in the past, including for high school seniors, and I'd be happy to share some tips with you.Firstly, I would recommend starting with a kick-off event to generate excitement and interest among the students and their families. This could be a fun event like a bake sale, car wash, or even a mini cooking demonstration using Pampered Chef products. This will not only engage the students but also give them a taste of what they can expect from the fundraiser.As for the catalog, I would suggest using a full catalog as it offers a wider variety of products for your customers to choose from. However, you could also consider creating a mini catalog with a curated selection of popular and affordable products. This could be helpful for those who may be on a budget or prefer a smaller selection to choose from.In terms of order forms, I would recommend using a combination of both physical and online forms. This will make it convenient for those who prefer to order online and those who may not have access to the internet. You could also offer incentives for those who submit their orders online, such as a free gift or a discount on their next purchase.Lastly, I would suggest promoting the fundraiser through various channels such as social media, email, and word of mouth. This will help reach a larger audience and increase the chances of a successful fundraiser.I hope these tips help you in organizing a successful and memorable fundraiser for your former students. Best of luck!
