The competitive spirit starts young - kids enjoy video games, board games, playing tag or anything that they can turn into a game.  So why not have a game night fundraiser? Get prizes donated from area businesses and charge admission fees and/or for food. Add raffles and auctions to raise more money.

1. Monopoly Tournament - As you know one game of monopoly can take all night so this one will definitely fill the time.  You could even have a series of monopoly nights with the winner of each game moving to the next round, which takes place on another night.  Great for junior high age and up to adults.

2. Trivia Night - This one is especially good for high school students. Vary the difficulty of questions depending on your audience. It’s played in teams of two so it can work for a group of 20 on up to 200.

3. Game Show Fundraisers - There are lots of board game editions of your favorite TV game shows.  Pick one that your group will enjoy.  Or why not choose several different ones and people can take their pick of which game to join when they get there.

4. Dance Dance Revolution - Kids just love this game. Did you know this can be a fundraiser? You can do this one on your own (DIY) or work with a company that specializes in this event.

5. Bunco Game -Bunco is a fun dice game that is super easy to learn and fun to play.  This is another one that is good for a mixed audience of kids and parents.  Plus this game is very easy to expand for many players.  All you need is another set of dice and you can four more players.

Would you be willing to kiss a pig to raise money for your school?

This is a crazy fundraiser that’s been around for years… but if your school’s never done it before they will be in for lots of fun. Students and teachers really get into it.

Carla Cope from San Diego California was very successful in raising funds using the “Kiss a Pig” fundraiser. Here’s how she did it:

My daughter’s high school water polo team recently held the “Kiss A Pig” fundraiser. One of the girl’s just happened to have a pet pig-full grown 500 lbs of loveable pig!

We started out slow but did earn $450. We had 6 1/2hour lunch periods over two weeks for student voting. The faculty and staff requested seperate voting containers be displayed in the office! The girls first canvassed the staff and teachers for volunteers to be voted for. We scanned pictures of the teachers from the year book and placed a picture of our pig with big red lips kissing them. We used these pictures for posters and the voting containers. (plastic jars with a hole cut in the lid) Each participant had a container designated for them. A $1 a vote was charged.

Periodic announcements were broadcasted over the PA system to keep everyone updated on the top 5 contenders. The students were reluctant at first…. a $1 was a lot. ….. on the second voting day a parent brought a pizza and votes picked up. So the next voting days, pizzas were donated, each $1 vote received a slice of pizza. One of the office staff did not want to kiss that pig eventhough she had volunteered!…… but she was one of top 3…… she paid $50 to bring her into 4th place.

The top three, the principal and two wrestling coaches, won the kiss. One of the coaches had to chase that pig around the trailer to get his kiss! it was so funny! The kissing day was on Valentines Day. We trailered the pig on to the lunch court for all to see.

We plan to hold it again next year…. we believe the students will participate more now that they’ve seen the pig! We did bathe it the day before….

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR WEBSITE!

When I was a kid I’d always try to catch the minnows at the edge of the lake with my bare hands. The 1-3 inch long fishes were so fast! My parents tried to tell me to give up, but I was undaunted.

So when I saw this fun fundraising idea it instantly caught my attention. It was called a “minnow race” and sounds like so much fun…

Participants paid $1 for the opportunity to select a minnow and race it against two other minnows down a track made from house gutters. The minnows were released into the pond at McCray’s Farm after the event. Small prizes were awarded.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Poli. “The best part is seeing the look on the kids faces as the minnows swim down the track.”

(From: MassLive.com)

The minnow races were part of an event to benefit music and marching band students in South Hadley, Massacusets.  The school group made about $100 from the minnow races alone.  Plus there was a minigolf tournament with a portion of the tournament fees benefiting the school’s music program.  What a fun way to raise funds!
