We did a basket raffle.
Groups donate to fill baskets with various themes, chocolate theme, movie theme, beach day theme, getting your drivers license theme, etc.
Tickets sold for $1 each or 6 for $5.
from a website link...
Briefly describe this fundraising event:
Each classroom picks a certain topic they will use for their basket, such as a sports basket or a choclate lover's basket. There are hundreds of ideas. Items get donated.
Organizing the event:
Baskets are numbered. List of items are made. Each kid gets a list and shows family and friends. Kids sell tickets for $1.00 for a chance at the basket of choice.
Capital possibilities:
Our school made $2000 this year. All tickets sold are placed in a ziplock bag with each basket. One ticket from each bag is chosen. The baskets were beautiful.
Degree of difficulty:
Collecting stuff for the baskets. If it's a stationery basket, call your local card supplier to ask for donations. Be creative. Parents from each class puts baskets together.
Other suggestions or comments:
People think this is a great idea. Anyone will give a dollar for a chance at maybe a $200-$300 basket. Sell tickets for at least 4 weeks. We also sold in front of Sam's.
Wrap all baskets in clear wrap, and display them during sports games, conferences, etc.
We made A LOT of money!

sausage sizzle, raffles
a really good one i did once for a fundraiser was an auction. you go to a lot of companies and explain what you're raising money for and ask if they'd like to donate products (you really do get a lot!) and then we got a radio presenter to come and host the auction, and the church hired us out a hall for free and yeah we just advertised it and ended up making quite a bit of money!

the only concern this is organic earnings is the provider artwork . motor vehicle washes , property freshen up or something this is exertions . each and all of the candy , magazine and different sales require you to funnel lower back lots of the $$$$$ for the product . hire out for provider initiatives , no might desire to purchase something , in simple terms borrow the relatives buckets or rakes . >
