Hi I am a twelve year old girl every year I do my own seperate fundraising things around town and at home and stuff but this year my target is somewhere different. My Junior high school. If you have ANY IDEAS AT ALL I would appreciate it if you gave me some suggestions as to how to fundraise in a school enviroment.

Hat Day

Go to your principal and ask if you can do a hat day to raise funds.  Ask that people who want to wear a hat for the day in school, donate a dollar.  That is something I am trying with the local schools here.  Make it a fun day to get the kids involved.  I am very proud of you for being so active.  There are not a lot of kids today that will go out of their way to help others.  Mind you, there are some, but kids today don't seem to have the values I had growing up, so when I meet kids like you...I want to say THANK YOU FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB!

Good for you!

I'm a teacher in a Middle School and our school has a Relay team.  Our biggest fundraisers include selling "Hope" bracelets (you can buy them online at Relay Gear) and just collecting change during lunches and before/after school.  We've found that once we start talking to people about cancer...everyone has a connection and is willing to give or help in some way.
