Our restaurants are known for being cheap. And our Pepsi distibuter doesn't donate either. We get the pop for free but that's a contract with the district to allow each school to one free even a year. What would the spirit wear people donate?
Can you hit up some fast food places for coupons for a burger or something? Is there a beverage distributor in your area like Coke or Pepsi? Our Pepsi distributor donates all kinds of stuff for our group's carnival. He even gave us all the pop free for our Open House this year because we were giving it away. How about the company that makes spirit wear for your school?
When we were exceptional, we would get coupons for free ice cream at lunch. I'm not even sure if they sell ice cream at lunch anymore, but that was the best treat.
The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life. --Anne Morris
We sell cougar bars, is that the ice cream machine you are talkig about?
We have 450 kids in our school, and 10 games. They are the typical games. I know our budget wasn't very big, and I was kind of shocked by that fact. Especially since the only game we have to pay for is the putting green! I will try harder next year, but since this is the only fundraiser we do, it will be tough. I may be able to go up to $400.
