Fundraising Events?

We don't sell anything except for t-shirts etc.

We did a couple of new things this year that helped us a lot. For our Fall Festival we went around and helped the kids make simple crafts to sell, our Holiday Shop and Breakfast with Santa went pretty good, and we also did a change drive.

Each year our P.E. Dept. holds Ropin' and Shootin'. Kids choose if they want to jump rope or shoot hops during a certian time. They get a pledge sheet, but flat out donations are encouraged.

When I was in Elementary we sold World's Finest Chocolate Bars. I'd love to have one of those right now!

hi, we use sally foster as our major fundraiser. (giftwrap basically). We held an auction this year as well, it is a lot of work though. We will probably do a bunch of the family fun nights at various restaurants next year. (most of them donate back 20%) Uno's, Jerry's pizza, mcdonalds, do these as well as some of our local family owned places. We also run a recycling program for ink cartridges and cell phones through fundingfactory.com. It's really easy, they send you prepaid boxes, you fill them up and send them back. We have raised $1300 just through that program this year. (and this program runs year round so you can send them in over the summer as well)
Do you do boxtops for education? That's an easy one too. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about anything. maggie

Hello everyone. I am a new President this year and I need some fundraising ideas. We have one brochure sale, but we could use some other simple ideas to supplement our income. Our attendance is low, and I don't believe in half way doing things so simple ideas would be great. (if there is such a thing) Also, I was thinking of sending out a brochure or something to tell what PTO is, and what we do? If anyone has any examples that would be great. I know these questions are kinda broad. Any help is welcome. Thanks Guys! Maybe I will be able to help one of you some day!
Sandy
