Megan, You are really something extra special.
When I was president of the PTO, we started a Night of the Arts fundraiser for the school. Kids got 5 minutes to do whatever they wanted on stage (sing, dance tell jokes, karate demonstrations,skits) and we sold raffle tickets for artwork donated by local artists. It was a lot of fun and the $ raised went to families in need.
Another fun raffle was The Basket Bonanza. Each class was given a theme and students were asked to donate one item each to fill a basket that was raffled off. Themes were Rainy Day, Arts and Crafts, School Spirit, Outdoor Fun, Snacks, Beach Party, Picinic etc.. The really cute part was they didn't use actual 'baskets' but something from the theme to put the stuff in, gym bags, sand buckets, coolers...
My favorite one is selling tickets for a night off. Busy moms and dads could buy tickets for an non-event they didn't have to go to. The wording on the tickets was a riot. |
