Question: A few Fundraising Questions for Humane Societies?

My local humane society is having a bake sale this Saturday (the 22nd) and I was wondering about some free advertising ideas that I could use to get people to come? (If you live in Missouri, it’s at Mace’s Supermarket in Cuba! 9AM!) We could really use a nice turnout.

I have already posted ads in the local classifieds, we have announced it on our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/St-James-Humane-Society/123135964422441#!/pages/St-James-Humane-Society/123135964422441 (Please, “Like” us!) and have told a lot of friends and family.

I am planning on calling some of the local pet supply stores to see if they can make donations for a raffle.

Any other ideas would be appreciated! Thank you!

Answer: Ask to post signs in at your local stores, esp. pet stores. Put up signs around the area. Sometimes your local radio station will lend a hand, you could give them a call. Good luck.

Question: Ideas for fundraising WITHIN a golf scramble.?

For my high school cheer program we do a golf scramble every year. We do $100 hole sponsorships from businesses in order to make our money. We also do mulligans. In past years we have done string but that has lead to cheating which has brought us many complaints so we decided to remove that this year. Our new idea in return is a blackjack table in which they pay 5$ and if they win they get to move up from the blue tees to the white tees to hit thier shot (this is on a hole that they could only make across the water from the white t)

we are trying to think of any other ideas like this to put at on a hole. we also give away a car if you make a hole in one on a par three, we do raffle prizes, free lunch, and free t-shirt.

any ideas on other small thigns to make money???

Answer: there are lots of things you can do.
ive seen
1. On a par 3 charge 5 bucks to try to get within a flag stick of the hole. if they do give them a sleeve of good golf balls(like pro v’s)that usually does well.
2. set up a long putt (like 100 footer) and charge 10 bucks for 3 putts at it. the clostest wins a putter or a wedge (you can get either for about 100 bucks)
3.if your doing a scramble pick a par 4 hole and have 4 cheerleaders sit there, when a group is on the green offer to putt for the team for 20 bucks, the sales point here is if one of the cheerleaders makes it it would count as a 2 if the cheerleaders don’t make it they get to putt from where the closest putt ended up so basically they pay for a birdie.
but theres a chance for an eagle and a skin.
4. have your adviser sit by a par 3 green and for another 20 the adviser stand in a circle and toss 3 balls toward the pin the team gets to putt from where the adviser throws one in close (paying for a birdie again,with the chance for a hole in one if he or she tosses one in.
ive seen these work in tourneys and make a load of money for the organization hope this helps
