Fundraisers

I would like to throw out a discussion topic on fundraisers. We are well into the time frame where we need to be having our fundraisers.


I have heard a lot of great ideas this year. It is so much easier to get people to give you money for something they need or can use...or a good time.


I was in Creative Awards today, and realized that they can make A LOT of different items!! How about a Koozie with your info and the Relay logo? Water...almost any business could sell bottles of water. This is a great option vs a soda; plus, when you empty your bottle you could leave it on your desk or counter and ask people to drop their dimes in!!! One water bottle holds $100 worth of dimes!!! WOW!

Today I heard a twist on the penny drive idea. If you make the Penny Drive a competition between departments, classes, or offices, the buckets of pennies can grow fast!!! Here is the twist....pennies count, but 'silver money' counts against your total. Therefore the department that is winning would have the other departments putting nickles, dimes and quarters in to try to reverse it. GREAT IDEA!!!

Please comment back and give me some of your fundraising ideas!!! Lets work together to benefit Realy For Life and the American Cancer Society!!!
