you could do what i did, talked to all the local band in my area had a huge concert in the auditorium 6 bukcs a ticket most bands played for free my class my about 900 dollars

(this might sound stupid)

but fuschia, do you have a place in your city where they pay you for the bottles? We dont have a place like that in my town and I was just wondering...

I'm in a club that's hoping to go to England next year and we have had a lot of success with bottle drives. you put flyers in everybody's doorways a few weeks in advance asking them to put all of there bottles out on the side walk on a certain day, and you can pick them up. it takes a lot, because you have to both deliver flyers to and pick up botles from every house in town, but we did one two weekends ago and we made a little over $500.

If a few people in your class paint or make jewelry or any general art, you can sell that.

Thank you! Ill discuss all of your ideas with my cabinet.

I like all of young's ideas, but I dont know if yall have a Chick-fil-A in your town, but they are really good with helping out with fundraisers. A lot of clubs from my high school go on a certain night of the week for a couple weeks and stand at the door and take donations. They really make a lot of money and I think Chick-fil-A gives them some money too.

Also, have yall ever sold candy bars? Band and ROTC sells boxes of regular candy bars (theres a company that puts them together that they buy them from) for a dollar. They sell a lot (one girl sold her whole box in one class) because people always have a least a dollar and its instant gradification instead of having to wait for some dinky wrapping paper.

Hope I helped. If theres something I can do just send me a noisemail.

Car Washes, Bowl-A-Thon(2 dollars per pin you knock down), Bake Sale, Cash-Ola(Ask a certain restaurant in your area to split profit with your school on ammount of receipts that you help bring in that particular night to eat there), etc.

Anything legal that you can think to make money from, those are just a few things I helped coordinate as Vice-President of the Inter-Act Club at my High School last year. High School, the good ol' days...Not!
