Ok...I know we are all probably sick of all those Bake Sales. I know I am. They don't work in a small southern town. Last spring we sold chances for summer gift packs. We did pretty well on them. But I would prefure to do something other than that. Anyone have any Idea's? Things that work for you? Any Idea's would be appreciated, or maybe a website that might have some idea's or magazine, or book?

thanks for any help!

It's been a while since I've participated in any fundraisers, but is there a restaurant in town that will give you a percentage of their sales one night? Seems like Subway did that one night for us. . .we got a percentage of all the business they did for a 3 or 4 hour period. I can't remember the details.

If you did it right, a campus calendar (The Men/Women of UAM) would probably do wonderfully, but it would require some advance planning.

We have a great fundraiser! We do Finalgrams. We get address labels from the registrar and send letters to parents about their child's finals week. (eg. it is busy, stressful help them relax with our nifty final gram) we charge around 20, this igreat with first year parents and seniors. They send us money we hit up sam's club and put together a final gram it is a gift bag, with food, toys, stress stuff, paper pads, pens, etc. The parents can leave a little note that we attach. We have them give us their student's name, room, dorm, extension and then we deliver the bags. We have a residential college so it works great. We also have a corner on the market, no one else does it so we make a couple thousand each semester with it. PM me if you need some more info i can see if our fundraising chair can get me the actual letter and list for you to see if you want to do this.
Good Luck!

I have a 13 page word document of ideas, lemme know if you're interested

I'd prefer this stays within the AST family, though.
