Student Council -What are some good fundraisers that we can do? …..?
where to order disulfiram What are some good fundraisers that we can do? Or some cheaper items we can sell? See, I go to a not so wealthy school so we cant sell stuff that costs over like . I am trying to raise money to send care packages to the troops. (nonprofit) So far my family and I have donated a free stay and breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn. And I was thinking at the elementary we could raffle off a stuffed animal (our mascot) If you have any ideas please feel free to offer them.
Many thanks
-Student council and myself.

Have people donate old books and hold a Book Sale; have a bake sale/silent auction/yard sale.

on election day have a bake sale at the place where the polls are.
Spagetti dinners are great. You can ask the school to use the cafeteria and lunch room one night.
One great one my school does is a "Parent’s night out" We drop off our kids at the high school on a Friday night and the group of kids holding the night (teachers may volunteer and should as well) provide child care for 2-3 hours. Arts and crafts and a video in the auditorium are some of the activities done.

You could do what a local fundraising group in my area does. Put on a haunted house for the month of october. Makes rooms designed to scare others, charge an entry fee of course. And aside from the house you can also have games just like they do at amusement parks. Another idea is a full service car wash.

Asking for help from the community would boost your fundraising results. Ask local merchants to donate small items to raffle off. Be sure to recognize the donating businesses in school newsletters and emails to home.

Make a "jail" from PVC pipe, appoint your principal as "sheriff", and arrest people over lunch hour. You could charge $2 to buy a warrant (or more, to get people to pitch in) and arrest teachers and students.
The "criminals" then have to get others to donate to make their "bail". You get to keep the warrant fee AND the bail money.
A local church has "diner day", where they run a 50s style drive-in in the parking lot. They sell hot dogs, burgers, and soda (all of which is either donated, or sold at a profit). The youth group dresses up in poodle skirts & roller skates and donates time as car-hops. Its very popular.
If the school will allow it, rent a newer video & show it in the auditorium. Charge $1 admission, and sell bags of microwave popcorn for $1 each (popped).
You can sell baked goods at lunchtime–big cookies for 50 cents, or brownies for 75. Some of you can do the baking, or beg your parents.
Near Christmas, have a "shopping day care" where parents pay to drop off their kids, so they can shop in peace. If you do it in the school gym, you can have a lot of fun games.
