What are some good k-12 school fundraisers for money?

Question

For a project for NJHS, National Junior Honor Society, we're raising money for different programs. The ones I'm doing are at these links:
http://www.invisiblechildren.com/theMission/Bracelet_Campaign
http://www.invisiblechildren.com/theMission/the_education_program
We're going to send the money we raise to them, but I need ideas for it. Does anyone have any good fundraising ideas?

Answer 1

Here are some ideas:
- get flowers/cards and have people pay to send them to each other in class. So they'll sign up with you for a week and then on that friday you'll bring around the cards/flowers to people who are recieving them.
- bingo night
- fashion show
- dance contest or dance off (dance contest is who can dance the best and dance off is who can dance the longest but still dance well)
- mock of american idol
- comedy night
- open mic. night (have an open microphone and people can get up and read poetry, play music, etc.. as they please)
- run/walk and you can get donations per mile ran/walked
- petting zoo (find people in the community with different kinds of pets)
- someone can teach a craft
- game show night (copy some game show like family fued)
- bake sale
- raffle
- sponsors from local businesses
- movie night
- social
- culture night, you can have drums from all different cultures. This would be so fun. Most cultures have different drums.
- culture food night or just regular dinner. Have people make different dishes. This always makes money, people love food.
Get some entertainment for that night too. It could be a big hit.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You'll find some tips specific to school aged fundraisers here: http://www.fundraiserinsight.org/articles/schoolfundraisingtips.html but there is a big difference between high school and elementary school. Elementary schools usually have the best results by selling products where as high schools can find a lot of success with what they call "do it yourself" fundraising ideas. You can find a list of them at the following sites and most require little or no cash to do and aren't the same old same old of selling pizzas or gift wrap...

Answer 3

I am an AVON Indirect Representative and we can have fundraisers. You can choose to have a brochure and sell anything out of the brochure or you can choose to use one flyer that you sell things from and you are guaranteed 40% of the profits. I don't know where you live, but I would probably have to mail you the information. If you are interested or have questions you can email me at [e-mail]
