Fundraisers • Effective fundraisers can: • Raise an abundance of money for a specific cause • Reduce costs for attending events: Fall Rally, DCON • Make an impact! • In order for fundraisers to be effective: • It needs to… • BEE carefully planned with a budget in mind • BEE advertised • BEE supervised • Have a definite purpose/cause
Remember, only funds that were collected for the event can be used for this purpose. If you raise the money to support attendance at convention, then that is where is must be used. If money is raised to support PTP, then that money is donated to PTP—that is where that money must go.
Examples • Seasonal Fundraisers • Often successful because people are more inclined to participate in events that only happen during that time of the year • Ex: Halloween Costume Contest – charge an entry/spectator fee; sell refreshments. Possibly incorporate Trick or Treat for UNICEF! • Valentine Candy Grams – sell candy grams at lunch and offer to deliver grams to students • Christmas Cards – Have Key Clubs make their own cards and have a booth to have the cards on sale for the holidays
Dances With effective event planning and advertising, can yield high profits Collaborating with Other School Organizations The more participation, the merrier! Have a talk with other organizations at your school to raise money for one cause.
