Club's Choice Fund Raising All the way. A K-5th grade school of 300 students raised $11,000 selling pizza, dough and food items. Ask for Brent-the best Rep around. Google the company for the web site. And Good Luck!!!
Ahh, the joys of fundraising. I am PTO President for a school of 260 and this is what works for us. We do a big fall fundraiser- this year we made $13,000. This is a lot of work but with a great rep it is fine and worth it. We pay for additional aide time and grants for teachers and student field trips,ect. We try to keep it to one large fundraiser a year. We also do box tops- a lot of work- but our fifth graders do all the cutting and we make about $1,000 a year. We also have family dine out nights- these are awesome- no work except for informing parents and depositing the check. Restaurants will give anywhere from 11-20% of sales over the evening. I just did a tupperware party at our school! I am not a rep, but our principle is and donated her portion to us also. The catch and why this was a sucess, was that I made the dads of our school throw the party! It was a come and go- no pressure to buy, no sales pitch! We made a 1,000 and our dads did it! I was trying to get dads more involved wheather we made money or not! It worked and was a lot of fun! I hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions- every school is different, but here are a few idea's!
Are you looking to hold the fundraiser and have delivery before Christmas break or are you looking for the spring?
In the spring, the most effective fundraisers that I know of are frozen cookie dough, spring gift catalogs and auctions but if you are looking for this year, you will probably be limited just because of time.
Donation Drive with the promise of no product sales if a certain $$$ is reached (better to do this at the start of the school year instead of in the middle/end)
