Please check as many of the fundraisers as you would like to see FEFSC do.

Car Wash

Catalog Sales

Gift Card Raffle: The Gift Card Raffle consists of member families asking local businesses to contribute gift cards of $50 or more for restaurants and/or local family appropriate entertainment. FEFSC then compiles those gift cards into one or two prize baskets and club members sell raffle tickets for the baskets. This has been done the past two years and the raffle has been held on the night of the Annual Banquet.

Bake Sales

Cook Books: Club Members would send in their recipes, they would be compiled into a cookbook. The cookbook would then be sold by club members to raise funds.

2nd of July Event: Club members help to donate and sell food/water/glow stick/patriotic items during the 2nd of July fireworks in the Germain parking lot.

Movie Night: Many organizations rent a movie and hold movie night fundraising events. This works especially well if you have a large room and projection/large screen TV. Make money by charging a single price for the movie and refreshments; provide the movie free but sell refreshments; or charge nothing and just ask for donations. Make sure you select a movie that will be of special interest to your group. Allow plenty of time for socialization before and after the movie. Some groups have held all-nighters where movie-goers bring their sleeping bags and blankets and have a movie marathon.

Grab Bag Sale: A flat fee per item is charged. Supporters can't see what they're buying. To get started, have volunteers donate inexpensive items * anything from used books to gag items * and spend a small amount of money at a dollar store to increase the number of items on offer. Put each item inside a paper bag and seal them all up, making sure that the contents aren't visible. Event guests aren't allowed to feel the bags or shake them to try and determine what's inside. Make a decision about pricing * a handful of dollars is usually appropriate. Supporters can then pay the designated fee and pick out a bag of their choice. They won't know whether they're getting something useful (like a great cookbook) or a silly item (like a rubber ducky) but that's all part of the fun and the fundraising experience. You'll find that most people at the event can be persuaded to buy more than one bag to try to get to the good stuff * make sure there are plenty of worthwhile prizes as well as silly ones.

Game/Trivia Night: Host a game show type of event in which you and your group set up a space that resembles a television game show. Charge a small entry fee for participation. Contestants play games or answer trivia questions until there is a winner. You can also set this up as a tournament where people compete in rounds. Each winner goes to the next round until you reach two final contestants. Then, do a special final round to see who will win the overall competition. Offer winners and runners up some fun prizes.

Minute to Win It: What kinds of crazy things can be done in 60 seconds? A "Minute to Win It" fundraiser is inspired by the game show of the same name, where contestants are given 60 seconds in which to complete a game or challenge using everyday objects. They are quick games that people can play pretty easily, and not take a whole day. Some organizations charge to play, some charge to watch, some do both. Here are some example games: Emptying a tissue box with one hand, Long snapping toilet paper through a Hula Hoop, Picking up cotton balls with a Vaseline coated nose, Bouncing ping pong balls into a bucket on a team members head, Scooting around the gym sitting on a towel, Placing a cookie on your forehead and eating it without touching it with your hands, Shooting rubber bands at targets, Bouncing a ping pong ball off of the floor and getting it to stick to a piece of bread coated with Vaseline, Stacking six cupcakes on your head, Blowing plastic cups over with a balloon.

Photo Scanning: Photo sharing has got much easier since digital cameras and the Internet arrived, but you've probably got plenty of old pictures stuck in albums or piled up in shoeboxes. Wouldn't it be great if you could share these photos too? Well, you can! All that's required is a flatbed scanner, a computer to attach it to and some image scanning software. If your organization doesn't already have access to a flatbed scanner, check local equipment rental stores to see if you can rent one for the duration of the fundraiser. It's a good idea to set a price per photo, but if you have customers with a pile of pictures you can offer them a discount. Let participants bring along their own CDs or flash drives to save the scanned photos to, or include them in part of the whole package for an extra fee (CDs and paper sleeves can be bought in bulk for minimal cost). Always handle the photos you've been given with care * these are people's precious memories. You could place a limit on the maximum age of photos you're willing to handle to avoid damage, and have customers remove photos from albums themselves before they are scanned. One option is to run a follow up class on uploading pictures to the Web for an additional fee, bringing in even more money for your cause.

Guess How Many Jar: Fill a jar with M&M's (counted), then charge a quarter, or even a dollar, to guess how many are in the jar. At the end of the night, whoever is closest wins the jar of M&M's. We could do this at our Holiday Show or at Hockey Games.

Consignment Sale/Website: Sell old skates, skating clothing, etc through the club website or newsletter. The club would get a percentage of the sale price.
