I am the PTA president for a catholic elemenatry school and we can't seem to find exciting and easy new ways to raise money for the school. Any one have any great ideas.

Well, theres a fast and easy way, and the way to make the most profit...

When I was younger, (in a Catholic school in Cleveland) my school would hold fund raising contests and the top two classes on the school would win small prizes. The turnout was often large. Teachers would also provide constant reminders about the fundraiser.

But...by far the most successful fundraiser my school had was when I was just leaving. My school (with about 800 kids) was given a fundraiser where everyone who participated received something, even if it was just a trinket. The school was skeptical as to weather it would be profitable or not. The kids ended up loving it! The school averaged over a $14 profit per student. They were shocked as to how well it worked. That's about $11, 200 if my math serves me right. I'm not sure if they did it again, though.

I almost forgot...this was from selling raffle tickets and sports game tickets.

My kids attended a catholic school in Ohio. The best money maker we found was a "night at the races" Most of the work is done ahead of time - we had a great time that night and people won a little cash and spent a little cash. We made several thousand in one night.
