It’s time to raise money for the school and you need to come up with an exciting and interesting way to conduct a fundraising promotion. You can’t go wrong with the standard methods of selling candy or washing people’s cars. However, maybe you would like something different this time. Here are 4 novel fundraiser ideas for schools you might want to consider.
1. Apple Promotion
Instead of candy, consider selling apples. So you do not end up with a lot of leftover fruit, ask the kids to take orders for apples ahead of time. Apples may be the perfect promotional item. They are inexpensive and healthy and with so many people concerned about their health these days, your promotion could be wildly popular.
2. Parents Night
So many school activities are all about the kids (and rightfully so) but what about parents? Don’t the parents deserve some consideration too? This fun fundraiser ides for schools involves sponsoring a special night for parents and they can bring their kids in one evening and drop them off. The parents can enjoy a night out or maybe just a quiet evening at home.
Teachers can volunteer their time and plan all kinds of fun activities for the kids. This will give the kids a chance to break away from the usual video games and Internet, and have fun with other kids. In nice weather, the kids can get exercise out of doors too.
3. Penny Drive
What can you do with pennies these days? They sometimes get in the way and some governments have even quit making them. Why not have the kids bring pennies to school during your Penny Drive Promotion? Each class can have a large container and the class with the most pennies is awarded some kind of prize or special privilege.
4. Parents’ Basketball Game
Parents come to school to see their kids participate in sports all time. Why not turn the tables and have a parents’ basketball game? Divide the grade up into two groups, enlist parents to participate and sell tickets to the game. Parents have to make a donation to participate. This will give so many of those parents (who live vicariously through their kids) a chance to live out their dreams of being a professional athlete and performing in front of the roar of an excited and enthusiastic crowd.
5. Back to Basics
Maybe these fundraiser ideas for schools are not your cup of tea. This is fine too. Remember you can’t go wrong with time tested and useful products which are also good for the environment. Think reusable shopping bags and kitchen items to bolster your fundraising needs.
