Ok here is the situation I just got into the last hour while making my phone calls. I found a local posting on craigslist from a lady who is interested in doing a fundraiser for her ASL (American Sign language) club to raise money to go on a trip to Europe for 21 days for students who can't afford this!!!
CAn you believe that? Our high school went down to the local amusement park for a big trip or the 3 hour drive to Corpus Christi to see the beach!!
Anyway it's a once in a lifetime opportunity so I know these kids will work hard to raise money. I talked to the ASL mom in charge of getting fundraiser ideas and she loves PC. But get this they have to raise $15,000 by next March 2008!!!
That's an incredible amount to collect. That means we have to sell like $75,000!!! I have never heard of such a thing but I'm sure we will try to get what we can and get as high as we can.
Here's my question:
What is a good way to run a fundraiser with like only 20 - 25 kids who need this much money? I doubt we will get that high but what is the best way to get as high as possible. I need advice from everyone, fundraiser veterans to those who are creative and want to help me out!!! I'm sure they will have to use more than one fundraiser to get that amount and save their pennies all year but I want my fundraiser to be the most successful. She loved the idea of purchasing items that people can actually use, which is what I tried to sell her on and I told her I would mail her some info today!!
HELP!!!!
