Fundraising
Ok...I am the philanthropy and fundraising chair for the Rho Zeta chapter. Our chapter is around the same size as yours but our school is slightly smaller. We are in Louisville so we have a big city to our advantage so this may or may not help you. In August, I send out letters to local businesses to get donations of either gift cards, gift certificates, or actual items. We then compile baskets shortly before Thanksgiving that we have a silent auction on in our student center. We raised about $2,500 from doing that and there really wasn't a ton of work to be done other than the donation letters and phone calls to local businesses. We also do a car wash in the Wal-Mart parking lot....they are a CMN supporter so they match what we make plus $200. This is a hit or miss depending on the weather normally. Hope this helps.
