Question: Help! High School Fundraising?

I am the freshmen president and a 3000-student high school in Las Vegas. The freshmen officers have decided to sell blue “boy” and pink “girl” silicone bracelets (like the livestrong ones) for battle of the sexes week. We are selling these to the entire school. At first we were just going to sell them for just a dollar each. I thought that these bracelets would be a huge hit since things in high school quickly catch on and especially since all the most-seen student council kids were all wearing them. I thought we should order at least 500 of each bracelet. After talking to the student body officers, they think that I should only buy about 100 girl bracelets and 50 boy bracelets. The thing is, that would make each bracelet like 80 cents, so we would only making 20 cents off of each bracelet, and that is not a lot of money for a fundraiser. So should i just order 100 and 50 and sell them for 2 dollars? Or should I order more and sell them for a dollar? Help please!!!

Answer: I’d go with 500. It’d make sense to order less if you were at a smaller school, but since you have 3000 students at your school, it makes sense. Tip: don’t order blue and pink. order them in your school colors, and give points to boys and girls based on whether they buy them. There’s less room for mishaps. Sell them for $1.00. It shows school spirit and is great fundraising. See if you can get them cheaper.

Question: What are some good Fundraising Ideas for a new all star cheerleading group?

There are 4 diff groups ranging in ages 3-18. Any ideas to raise money to help the tuition costs?

Answer: I would say that the cheerleaders in my town go for the car wash. There is usually a good crowd. Dirty old men like me get in a long line of dirty old men for the car wash. We are lured in by the cheerleaders in front of the school.
My wife goes along to keep an eye on me but she doesn’t care. It is for a good cause.
A lot of women drivers turn up to. I am not sure what brings them in for the car wash with the high school cheerleaders. Could be a K.D. Lang thing. Let’s be friends.
