Need Some Fundraising Suggestions. - 06.09.2010, 10:16 PM

We need to raise upwards of 3 thousand dollars ($3,000+) ASAP for Water Polo and Swim Team... (I'm betting some people are gonna have a field day with this one, YES, we wear speedos for Waterpolo. Just get off our asses; we're NOT gay.)

Basically, California and the school system are getting bent over and.. well.. let's say nothing pretty is happening.

MAJOR budget cuts, hell, we had a paper drive for our school because we couldn't afford printer paper, so we used yellow, and other colored paper for a good month or so..

They wanted to cancel Polo and Swim, but our coach said nuh-uh, and isn't letting his "baby" go...

Anywho, he has since canceled the JV team, and is cutting the Varsity team down to 20 members (I'm one of the 20 members, but I really want a JV team, since we have a ton of graduating seniors this year, and will need some good talent to join Varsity).

Basically, we need money for more equipment (yes, we play with balls....), pool rental time, game day pool rental times, buses, and others since the we don't have a pool at school..

I'm not sure if my coach is even going to try bringing JV back for the new kids, but I wanna try pushing him to do so, if we take down JV, we'll be wasting more time in my junior year (I'm a freshman now, so in the year after this coming..), getting newer kids to learn the game, and putting crappy players into Varsity. Eventually, we're gonna need more Varsity players....

To raise this upwards of 3,000... we need to fund raise! And since our principal just shoved this down our throats the last week of school (well technically 2 more, but who the hell goes to school after finals?).. which means no high school publicity in the morning = less outcomes....

This is what I've thought so far:

Sell candy (Since candy is a major hit at our school, hey, what can we say, we're Americans!)

Sell pizza, soda, etc at lunch and afterschool (Lots of clubs are doing this, so we can advertise and sell in more convenient spots.. most clubs do it out of classrooms, we may be able to do it outside on the quad?)

Dinner nights (Restaurant allowing, we can get people to eat at let's say... Stonefire, and we can get around 10% or 20%, per peoples order if they show them the flyer.. Again, if no school = we can't pass out flyers)

Bowling nights (Our baseball team raised a little over a grand and a half doing this, so why not?)

Car wash (But I believe SoCal is in a drought so....)

More suggestions would be appreciated, remember, we can't strip (linc and paralyzed..), or do anything stupid. I'm in high school! We also have to do whatever we're gonna do, fast, since we only have a good week or so of school left, especially with finals this Friday, Monday, and Tuesday).

I know this is uber late, but who knows, someone might have a smart idea!
