Post-Event FundraisingDid you know that the you can still raise money to reach your goal even after the event has occurred. You can turn money in all the way up until August 31 - - and still have it credited to this year's efforts! Here is a place that you can discuss what kind of fundraisers you are planning (as a team or a committee) that will happen AFTER your actual Relay For Life event has occurred.

Lottery CalendarsHello, My team was tossing up the idea of lottery calendars as a fundraiser. Is there anyone that can point us in the right direction as to what company to use. We realize it might be a late thought for this year, but we can still plan for next year!
Thank you, Kara stainy1005 – November 8, 2009 – 7:44pm

HighSchool Help! :-)My name is Casey and I'm one of the Event Chairs for my highschool's Relay. Last year we raised $89,909 and were named one of the top highschools in the country! This year we want to keep up our success, so I could really use your help :-) First of all, we've never really done any fundraising for our event as a whole, only individual team fundraisers. What are some easy ideas to kick-off our event fundraising? Second, this year I won't be on a team, but I still want to beat my donation of $575 from last year. One of my ideas is to go to local craft sales and sell homemade things...but I need some ideas here. Actually, any ideas for personal fundraising would be great!!
Thank you so much for all you do for ACS! Casey KCares – November 1, 2009 – 6:46pm

Inspirational NecklacesOur Relay was at the end of July 2009. We made "inspirational" necklaces and sold them in the months prior to the Relay at work, along with selling them at some area shops and hair salons. We raised the price of the necklaces a couple of dollars to sell them in the shops and salons, so that the owners made a small commision for having them in the businesses, but we still made a nice amount for the Relay. We had necklace displays that we put the necklaces on, and we had a sign on the display that told people that the necklaces were being sold for the Relay. We were pleasantly surprised at how many necklaces we sold before the Relay! And then we were *thrilled* with how many of the necklaces we sold at the Relay itself. We made hundreds of dollars for our team! Breast Cancer S... – October 4, 2009 – 2:24pm
