Fundraising Ideas?

[Pokes]

Hey.

A group of us are Volunteering with an organization overseas, in orphanages/refuge centers/schools for a month, and e ar currently in the process of trying to raise some money...

We have sold about 40 Boxes of those Cadbury Fundraiser boxes (I don't think any of my work mates or friends can look at chocolate again...), put on a mini trivia night....but we're looking for something a bit different...

Any ideas will be considered! Thanks so much!!

i've done plenty of fundraisers and this is my most successful:

- buy a cheap wheelbarrow (or better still get one donated)
- fill it with cheap grog (preferably donated)
- make sure it is packed with plenty of celaphane (sic) and the most expensive items are in full view
- put bulky but cheap items down the bottom in partial view
- get people to wheel around anywhere there are people

we did this every year with the uni soccer club in the first few weeks of uni, and with donated goods, used to make around $3000

That's a great idea! Much better than my friends. He suggested a Goon Party. I was like, How does that work?

People pay $15 entry, and we supply a heap of Goon. And so I say, well..people will probably drink that $15 away on Goon and we wont make any money. Then he tells me the master plan is to wait until everyone is drunk and passed out off the goon...then steal their wallets.

Yes. Your idea is much better.

Thanks so much!!
