fundraisers

[llabtfos]

recently we held a bake sale/car wash for our LL team and made over $1200 which was great! what else have you done that you'd like to recommend?

we are thinking about holding a raffle and raffling off an object like a quilt or something

At the younger ages we did the carwash, bakesale, raffle bit. The most lucrative was just pahandling in front of local stores who would give us permission.

At the older ages we just said it cost X amount of dollars to play you are required to pay this amount up front and this much a month.

Smoked Boston butts sell well. We have found that everyone has to eat and are more likely to purchase food tickets (fish plates, barbecue plates, etc.) than to purchase a raffle ticket for something they may not need (ie a quilt). You will limit yourself, I think, if you do a raffle that would focus on one particular sector of folks...we have had raffles for donated jewelry from fine jewelers, 4 wheelers and guns. Those all seem to go over well because it will get the men and the women buying chances. Designing and selling t-shirts would be a good fundraiser, too. Who doesn't need an extra t-shirt or two?? Good luck!!
