Fundraising ideas1
I am on dance team at my school. Right now we have a very low amount of money in our account and we can't afford to do something we really wanted to. What are some good ways to raise money?
We already did a bake sale and didn't make much, and we're not allowed to do a car wash.

valentines day is comming up.. maybe you guys can make valentines grams and sell them during school or after school... like the ppl buy buy the cute notecards and fill out a little message and then it gets sent to that person of their desire with a candy or sumthing
(kind of like in that movie "mean girls" where they send christmas candy canes. and they get dileverd in class)
im a cheerleader.. and we do plenty of fundraisers... im used to all the crap lol

How about selling something that people really want, like pizzas that you make? Holding a dance clinic for school-aged children where you teach them simple routines? I've paid $25 plus $10 for a t-shirt for one of these clinics for a 5-year-old. At that dance clinic, they had the children for 4 hours, the children brought a sack lunch, and they had a performance at 1:00 PM, after which the dance troupe performed. The dancers also donated old dance costumes and sold them. You can solicit local organizations for prizes and then sell raffle tickets and raffle them off. You could do something at school (with permission)like selling cupid-grams to be delivered at school. I hope I've given you some ideas.

I think your principal's concern over a carwash may have to do with adults coming in touch with teenage girls dressed in clothing that could become wet and look see-through as there are sick people out there into this crap.
If that's his concern he has a darn good point and is protecting your welfare as parents and school council would have valid reasons to block the idea.
What else can you do? Have you approached your principal about fundraising ideas they have used/implemented in the past? You ought to talk to him/her about those fundraising chocolate bars and whatnot that rake in a lot of money if the whole school pitches in to sell them.
Another idea would be to take your dance team talents and put on a variety show for the adults with various numbers, skits, etc and get the school involved in contributing their talents and charge a pay what you can admission at the door and do 3-4 shows at school at night.
The other thing you can do is have your principal talk to comedy clubs (find a comic with a clean act) or places like Murder Mystery nights or Second City who do fundraising events where you can either send adults to a show for a certain price or have them or teens entertained at the school by having a "clean" act and then charge a certain amount and make money that way.
Try organizing school dances too where a small donation is paid to participate. Also ask your principal about staging one dance where proper lighting and a DJ is paid for but nobody can attend without paying $5-10 dollars towards whatever.

A good selling thing for fund raising is candy bars as well. Don't know if you guys have been looked into something like that yet or not.
