Fundraiser for school; Need ideas!
Hi! Ok, I really need ideas of what my class can do for fundraisers! I'm in 8th grade and we're trying to raise money for 8th grade graduation & our trip to our state capitol. We need to make more than the meager cents we get from bakesales, car washes, and ballgame concession. Does anyone know of any ways we can make money? Time is running out! Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
customise t-shirts. make them really cool, put slits in them, knots, bleach bits of them if you can.
you can do it to old clothes that you dont want too, see jeans and tops hat youve customised.

maybe you can hold a dinner and a play night. like have a play going on while parents and relatives and what not are served food. my friends church does it and i think they charge $10 a person and have it go on for 3 or 4 nights
also try a chinese auction.. and have local busineses donate baskets

you could have a raffle... have everyone contribute something to put in the basket and then raffle a bunch of them off. that should get you some money! <3

This comes from what my sister did to help raise money for her Washington D.C. trip she will be taking in March (or sometime around there).
What her class did was they had a spaghetti dinner, but instead of making it just like a line dinner where you got in a line, some people put some spaghetti on a plate with some bread and a salad and you sat down at a table to eat it, they did this.
They made it like the atmosphere of an Italian restraunt. All of the kids in her class dressed up in white shirts and black pants, wore aprons and took orders at peoples tables and brought them their food to their tables. The tables were decorated with candles and tableclothes and had the decor that you would found in an Italian restraunt, even down to the opera music you might hear in those kind of restraunts.
Altogether the food was very good and it was a very enjoyable time. Spaghetti is cheap and so is the bread, you can easily feed hundreds of people for less than $40-50 in bread, spaghettic noodles and sauce bought in bulk, so you will hardly lose any money on it. Also the tableclothes, candles, and other small decor can usually be found anywhere for very low prices.
Overall, they raised alot of money for their trip and they hardly broke a sweat with losing money for it. So I think you could probably do the same thing and no be too overtaxed with the price.
I hope this helped!

hahaha well first off this might sound really stupid, but our school opened a coffee shop thingy where our kids can buy coffee or hot chocolate at this Cart(store thing really) at the front of the school. You can add stuff to it too, and it really does help raise cash, we got like 300 bucks in the first 2 or 3 weeks. :)
