Hi! For my team, our most successful fundraiser was actually a date auction in February. Also, going door to door in neighborhoods offering bags of 4 or so cookies for a donation amount of their choice was surprising super successful as well. Lots of people gave $20 and did not even take any cookies!!! – Tori LaBirt from Penn State
Our most successful event was a donation based bake sale. We raised almost $200 in just one day! A donation based bake sale is basically allowing people to donate any amount for a treat. It can be as small as 5 cents or as big as $50! It works really well on our campus. Mary from Kennesaw State
Hmm.. Most successful fundraiser? Here at the Centennial High School Rescue Team in Howard County, Maryland, it would definitely be the school-wide talent show we started last February. We had an emcee, judges, performers, concessions, and, of course, a time for LiNK videos. About a month before the show, we put up fliers and a school TV commercial for auditions to perform for the event. We charged $3 per ticket for the show, and with the help of parent volunteers, we sold concessions. One really interesting thing I think we did was that we had an Audience Choice prize; upon purchasing a ticket, audience members received one vote but could pay for additional votes. A lot of funds that night came from donations from parents interested in supporting the cause! In total, we raised about $600 from this event. Our goal for this year’s talent show is to raise at least $1000. One really important thing we forgot to do though: take pictures! —Duo, Brian, Jose, Leina, Miguel, Job
