Fund raising

how about a movie night. we used to have movie nights in the gym and serve popcorn and drinks. the only thing is it's against the law to charge people to watch a rented movie. so you have to advertize that you are charging for popcorn and drinks. anyway the kids used to love going to the gym to watch a movie with all their friends.

Hi Kayrod. I do a bit of fundraising for the local hospital but it involves adults, but last year we did a sponsored Exercise Bike Ride from John O'Groats to Lands End... the two furthest points on our British Isles Map. We started at 10.40 a.m. and finished at 7.10 p.m. We had five bikes, but if you could get them, you could use say, seven. The thing was, the kids loved to get involved and covered many miles between them, giving us adults a rest, so you could involve both parents and children in that one. Our local school has a fete every year, with all sorts of stalls. Mainly parents run the activities. They have produce, tombola, face painting and all sorts of other things. Sometimes, they have a fancy dress competition for the kids and a main raffle. A lot of local businesses supply raffle prizes and bottles etc. and that always seems to raise a fair bit. There's a couple of ideas... I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but I hope these might help. Brightest Blessings my friend.

How about a Teddy Bear picnic or even a Pet Show? A car wash? A kids karaoke (sp?)? Guess who the baby in the photo is? (Charge people to guess)? That's all I can come up with off the top of my head....not sure if they're different enough for you. Have fun. :)

how about sponsoring a school "White Sale" a rummage sale that is. good usable items to be re sold - school uniforms if your school uses them are always a big seller at such events. a field days event - the kids can make balloon figures for the participants, face paint, play little games like balloon darts, bean bag toss, ring around the soda bottle etc. have 3 legged races and what not. a small admission fee and donated items will be a good money maker. your local grocery will probably gladly donate hot dogs, rolls, pickles, condiments, chips and paper plates for the barbeque lunch that you can charge people $1.50-$2 for and they would gladly pay it! don't forget to chill bottles of water for quenching thirst - and the sno cone maker.

hi kayrod i'm from Philippines, i been in to the fund raising project too, maybe this could help. gather all old newspapers and old things and sell it to the junkshop, old clothes for sale. school arts and painting contest.
