I just wanted to share a few ideas that we have used.....

We just did a fundraiser at Chevy's Restaurant. Call you local Chevy's and speak with the manager. They will donate 25% of all dinner receipts (from your people) on a given night (4 hour window) to American Cancer Society. All you have to do is talk to the manager, set a date...there's a link on their website for flyers that you can customize....pass out a gazillion flyers...then go enjoy dinner on the given night!

Also go to http://www.easy-fundraising-ideas.com/ for great cookie dough tub fundraisers. No money up front needed...you collect the money form the customers first, submit your order, and keep your profit for your team. On a $10 tub, you make at least $2.50 per tub profit. There's a 120 tub minimum to buy. What we did is have a few teams go in on it together. Each team had their own order forms and were in charge of collecting their orders and money.....then I placed one order altogher so we could meet our minimum. The folks at easy fundraising are very helpful.

One team hosted a murder mystery dinner at the local Moose lodge. They bought a kit that explained how toplay the game....served spaghetti, salad, and garlic bread. It was very successful.

Last year, one team hosted a poker run for the motorcycle enthusiasts...that's always fun.

Anyways....hope these help! Good luck!
