Considering our last fundraiser, we have also been trying to look for more fundraising ideas and we came across one and it seems great and we are trying it out this fall. There is only counting as well and you dont have to store anything in a freezer or anything like that. We have always been big on the cookie dough before but that just isn't working for us anymore. We need something better to raise more money -- to many school cuts where I am. I have been speaking with this one representative lisa. I would give her a call at (937) 572-0083 or go to her site at lisa.10kfr.com.
Frozen fundraiser is just what I call cookie dough, frozen pizzas, cheesecakes, Our cookie dough does well, and I loved the company we ran through, pizza is okay, just needs to be given a chance, and cheesecake is often to exspensive for what you get.
Our xmas tree auction, each class and organization,or club that we run out of school will be given the oppurtunity to decorate a 6ft xmas tree. It will be a class or group effort. We will then auction them off the night we do our Fall Festival which just happens to be the Friday before Thanksgiving break. We will not charge this year, most of the trees are donated from teachers leaving our school. Classes are in charge of getting, or making their own decorations. Starting bids are set at $20.00.
That sounds awesome. I hope it goes well for you all. I like the idea of the cost being low but yet the product is still very interesting to buy. Plus, if the kids are involved, the parents will buy. Great idea! Love the idea also of donating into your angel boxes for the holidays!
I forgot to mention, the jars that are leftover in early December will be put into what we call Angel Boxes. Angel Boxes are delivered to the low income families at school. Items to make a xmas dinner, samll presents for the family, toiletries, ect.
Again, this is a project for next year, so we are still working out the kinks. We purchased the cookbook from schoolmate for $2.50. Bought 2 of each, one to use one to give away. The project is for an afterschool program we are calling Kids in the Kitchen. We will sell for$5 each. We will put out a list of dry ingredient donations, which will be just that. Our school is great about sending in things like that. I have jars to make 100 mixes, and we will sell at every function from September through mid November, and send home order blanks.
