Fresh from our Lebanon County Relay for Life, held May 16 and 17 at Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, I want to share this easy fundraiser with all of you. One of our gals brought this back to our Relay Committee from Relay University two years ago.
1. Purchase a case of water in 16oz bottles.
2. Give one to every member of your team (and friends and family too)
3. Instruct them to drink the water, cut a hole in the lid, and decorate the bottle with Relay For Life stuff.
4. Save all your dimes in this bottle bank!!!!
5. Walla. When the bottle is filled with dimes, you will have very close to $100.00 in dimes!
A couple of my team members used this fundraiser by placing bottles in the lunch rooms of their offices and co-workers gladly dropped in a dime or two!
I have challenged all my team members to save all their dimes and if each team member would fill their bottle with dimes, we would have $1,500. One of our local banks has a "Penny Arcade" and this machine will count the money for free, no need to count and wrap.
This fundraiser is similar to the "Prescription Bottle" one listed on thie site; the only difference is this one would result in more $$.
I have been relaying for more than 10 years and will not quit until a cure is found or I am no longer able to give the time and attention Relay deserves!
