Fund Raising?

Question

I am helping runa football team this summer and we need to do a few Fund Raisers in the next month or 2 and I need some fast and easy ideas to make a decent profit.

This is a fund raiser for a Semi-pro team....no kids involved....so though the ideas I have gotten are good I need ones I can use for adult guys between 18-40.

Answer 1

Have the kids on the team get out early in the spring and offer the elderly lawn-care, cleanup, etc. at a very discounted price. Everyone is the winner in that situation. And i bet there would be many takers. Let's help the elderly as well as the kids.

Answer 2

No, it's not illegal in Missouri, providing that neither the adoptive parents, and especially the parents placing the child receive any money in the process. As a former DJ in that area (North Arkansas, Branson, and Springfield), it can be political suicide to do an event like that. Instead of doing the complete planning of the event, and advertising yourself in the event, I'd give the couple some pointers, and go from there, without the work and possible problems. I also agree that some parents shouldn't be raising their kids because of their poor choices, such as drugs, however, there's a lot of different opinions, and unless you personally know the parents placing the child, and their reasons, then there's room for speculation and debate.

Answer 3

try to organize a car wash,
go to your local gas station and ask them if you can have a car wash one of the days. Then print out tickets that the whole team should try to sell. The tickets should be at least 2 dollars cheaper than the price you are going to charge the day of the wash. Then get the word out, and wash cars.

OR

go to costco and buy those big boxes of candy bars, and package them in big Ziploc bags. Have the football team sell them throughout school for a profit.

OR

talk to a manager of a restaurant and ask them to have a fundraiser on a certain night, where they donate some percentage of profits (usually 15-ish) to your football team, from every person that says they are there for your team. Then spread the word.
Hope this helps

Answer 4

There have been a bunch of football teams in my area that have went door to door selling pizzas. They wore their jerseys or practice jerseys when they did this. A group of kids would get in an SUV with a parent/coach and go to a neighborhood and each kid would go to a house or two and try to make sales. Check out the link below, or just google "pizza fundraisers".

Answer 5

My friends and I did a bake sale in front of wal mart try that or do a car wash maybe even see if a local returant can sponser you in a cook out and sale things like bbq plates for about 5 bucks. just a thought

Answer 6

how about a rummage sale? have everyone donate some stuff and find a place to have a yard sale. just advertise it all over the place, i bet you could make quite a bit of money. also see if a donut shop will donate some donuts and sell them for .25-.50 cents a piece.

Answer 7

Fast & Easy..........Tag Day..............Call the local supermarkets and ask for premission to solicit donations........most have no problems with this.......have sucker or candy to pass out to those that give. Saturday mornings are very good 10am to 1 pm........The Keys TO EARNING BIG MONEY are only ask people on the WAY OUT............Smile Big at them on the way in...........Be very respectfy...........Use your player"s usally 3 to a store with a adult supervison..........Have Them wear game jersey's ........This should net you about $125.00 an hour from each store

Answer 8

If it is a summer fundraiser, i used to sell avon and they have fundraisers during the summer months to sell their bug guard or other summer related items like sunscreen, work with a representative and they will even assist you in setting your profit margin.

Answer 9

Car wash, BBQ plate sales, Raffe tickets, are a few suggestions.

Answer 10

Go to costco or sam's club and get boxes of candy or cookies and sell those at the beach,outside the store, at school.They can be given to family members to sell at work or in general, get the parents involved. Ask for donations if they dont want to buy candy.Make sure to let the buyers know wut you r fundraising for.
