Need fundraiser ideas....
Not for me, but for Addie and Addisons' cheerleading group. I have already thrown out a photographer session idea and a spaghetti dinner idea, but I am at a loss of what else to do. I am supposed to have 4 ideas by our next meeting so any ideas are welcomed : ) Thanks!

"Cheese!"
I am a prom advisor and I work at a school so fundraising is something I am very familar with!
The recycling fundraisers are super easy, you just have to print shipping labels off the website and ship your stuff in and they take a wide variety of items (mp3 players, phones, ink cartridges, etc).
An organization at our school has a fundraiser where they sell 120 tickets for $20 each then several cash prizes are given out: $500, $250, $100, $50 (x3), $20 (x 10) so you give out half the money as prizes and keep half for the organization. You could tailor the monetary amounts and tickets sold to what would work for your organization.
Yankee Candle has a nice fundraising program and they are the same Yankee Candle products you would get in the store for about the same price, but part of the sales go to the school.
In addition to Max & Ermas, some BWs restaurants do fundraiser nights (on food purchases only).
We have other things that may not apply in your situation: 3 point shots at basketball games (pay $1 get $2 if you make it), 50/50, raffling off sports passes, parking spots, etc.
I just did the "race for literacy". it was AMAZEBALLS and I would totally do it again. Now you'd prob have to cater clues to a younger audience so that young ones could participate but we had two hours to take pic's of 150 things. We drove all over the city snapping pictures and having a blast. I still have my clue sheet. I can bring it to work tomorrow and try to scan it for you so you can get some ideas. Some of the things were clues and some were just "take a picture of your team mates in a 10 person conga line". Others were I have a ring but no finger...and you had to get a pic of the answer. Each thing had a different point value. it was crazy fun.
The literacy event was $25 per person and then it also included dinner. While we ate they tallied and then the winners got I think a gas card and a Barnes and noble GC. But the winning team had 8 people on it!(but they only got one gas card and one B&N GC)
It was more for fun then to "win prizes". You could do a "winner" of beat dressed team, or best team name...There are pics from the event on my FB page.
Yes these are fuN!!!!
