Benefit Basketball Games
Hold a basketball game to raise money for a local cause. The opposing teams can be popular pairings such as students vs. teachers, or student counterculture vs. local police, or coaches vs. athletes. Having students dress as cheerleaders is also a fun way to draw the crowd and make the event enjoyable and spirited. Admission will be charged, and all the profit will go to the cause of your choice.
Donut Days
Many students are willing to buy pastries at break and in the morning, especially for a good cause. The ASB can buy just 3-5 boxes of donuts and sell them at school to raise money for the less fortunate. If the district does not allow students to sell donuts, than teachers can also be involved and sugar-free bakes goods can also be used. – Gilbert Elementary School
Ice Cream Social
A fundraising event, ice cream socials are great ways for students to congregate and meet new people while allowing for the school to fundraise. The key to this event is to sell tickets in advance so that the appropriate amount of ice cream, toppings, and utensils can be bought. Be sure to check out how much your supplies cost so that your profit is maximized.
Horror Movie Festival
A school wide event, Horror Movie Festival is an event in which all students of the school congregate in the school cafeteria or a location of your choice to watch horror films. This can also act as a fundraiser, charging so much to see the movie and then costs for concessions. To make this event a success, show double or triple features with one guaranteed shocker. Avoid classic movies as they have been shown before and blockbusters as they are more expensive to rent. Obtain projectors from the school and use the auditorium screen or something very large so that a big audience can watch the movie. Advertisement is very important, and usually word of mouth is very effective as well as putting up posters and having students dress as movie villains the week leading up to the event.
Quadfest
Quadfest is an event during lunch at school in which students can perform and showcase their musical talent. Usually students form bands within the student body and perform covers of songs or original songs in the school quad or designated classroom. This event can be organized by a music club or just by students who want to be more involved with music and entertainment in their school. This event is a great addition to lunch after mid-day rallies, and it helps students to express their talent and raise the morale of the students.
