Mmmm, Fundraising and Food
Smoothie Stand– A healthy and yummy twist on a lemonade stand.
Buy a Meal– Volunteers make and sell donated meals.
Cook Off– Solicit volunteers to enter their best dishes and have people pay to vote on the winners. Having a theme like chilli or cakes makes it easier for tasters.
Events with Participation Fees or Pledges
Matching Donations – Companies match donations made by their employees. Or teachers match donations made by students.
Paper Santas – Sell our paper Santas for a minimum donation. The donor writes their name and favorite toy or toy suggestion on the Santa, and you then display all the Santas on a Christmas tree or wall. These may be ordered from the Santas Office after November 6th.
Spell S-U-C-C-E-S-S – Hold a spell-a-thon with each contestant collecting donations for the number of words they spell correctly.
Reverse Raffle – All potential sponsors get a raffle ticket and sell it back for $10 (suggested donation) to avoid getting their name drawn to do something embarrassing.
Choose the Torture – Have donors pay for a vote to decide which form of “torture” to inflict on a school/organization’s leader (i.e. dye hair, dress as a clown, trade a job for a day).
Bail Us Out – Handcuff two willing fundraisers and let them loose to raise “bail”.
Change It – Start a competition between classes, families or individuals by giving each a coin jar to collect change for a designated amount of time. The one with the most collected wins a prize.
Gift Exchange – Give children gifts based on what you think a person would have liked as a child, then donate them to Santas. You still get to open a gift and have a lot of fun.
No Cash, No Problem
Rent-a-Worker – Volunteers commit to working for an afternoon doing any odd jobs sponsors “hire” them to do.
Birthday Pledge – Ask for donations to Santas instead of birthday gifts or cash.
Pump it Up – Coordinate with a local gas station to have volunteers serve as gas station attendants who pump gas and clean windshields for donations.
