I did Alternative Spring Break through the YMCA all four years of college. Many campuses have this program, and it was very well-run; fundraising more or less covered our own travel expenses (which weren't high, we drove a big van) and a donation to the group with which we worked.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm looking into fundraising ideas for our group. What did you end up doing? How much did you raise? Would you do it again?

We did a Driven Coffee fundraiser (www.drivencoffee.com/fundraising) last year and it worked well, but I'm just looking around at some other fun ideas before we commit for a second run this year.

This thread (www.greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=139935) is hilarious & has some awesome "out of the box" ideas that I want to look into.

Just wondering what you ended up doing & how it worked out. Thanks!
