I'm sorry I forgot the classroom prizes depending on the participation and sales a classroom could earn a pizza party, popcorn party, ice cream party or all three.

Also we have top seller prizes two scooters.

The prizes are awarded by sales level.

Example

.25 - 3.00 candy
3.00 - 25.00 popper toy
25.00 - 50.00 light up fan
50.00 - 75.00 $4.00 book certificate
75.00 - 100.00 T. shirt
100.00 - 125.00 $15.00 gift certificate
125.00 - 150.00 lava lamp
150+ night time party with pizza, swimming,a dance and a jump house


This was what our prize chart looked like last year. It of course is progresive also, so if the child raises 150+ they get all of the prizes. If they raise 55.00 they get the candy, popper,fan and the book certificate. This sounds absurd to me. It's a huge chunk of money for prizes. So as our new board pres. I realy need help lowering this cost.

Are you just needing prizes for the Walk-a-thon? If you are could you let us know what you are spending $8000 on?????? Have you tried renting inflatables? Have you emailed me for the info that I have on this??? If you haven't email me at the above address and I will send you the info that i have. We do this - if you raise $60.00 you get to jump for one hour. If you raise $125.00 or more, you jump all day. We also have a field trip for the students that collect $125.00 or more. We also had a TV and a bike donated from WM and a parent gave the top boy and girl free karate lessons for 3 months.
If you need any more info,please email me.
thanks

Thanks cdmcgill. I'm tring to find was for us to lower our costs on prizes we currently spend $8,000+ every year. I am all for the kids being rewarded just for less money. If anyone has any other ideas i would realy appreciate the advice.

We gave everyone a t-shirt regardless of donations. We have about 500 students. We solicited sponsors for the back of the shirt. Businesses gave up to $250 for a large sponsorship, other small amounts were available. Families and students could have their name listed for $50. We had quite a few "takers". As for prizes, we went to our local Wal-Mart who was more than generous in giving us two bikes and a few other prizes. Since we were promoting good health and it was for a good cause, they were more than willing to help us out. Other small incentives for highest class were non-pay type items such as extra recess, no homework, lunch with principal, etc.

every child went home with a t-shirt regardless of donations.

This is a great idea but how do you set up your prizes for individual sales? How do you decide the amount you spend on these prizes?
