10 fun ideas to raise money for the relay for lifecreative and fun ideas for fund raisinFor the past four years I have been participating with my co workers on a team for our yearly Relay For Life event michael kors outlet portland maine. I work for a small company and we have had to come up with creative ways to raise money.So here are my top 10 most favorite fun ideas to raise money.1) Company Team Shirts. Each year we have designed shirts with our team name and team moto. We order them in bulk of all sizes and sell them before and at the relay. Ordering in bulk, we were able to get the shirts at a discount and then selling them at a higher price reminding everyone that all proceeds where ging to the American Cancer Society michael kors outlet portland maine.2) Cuts For A Cure One year we got together with local hair dressers who gracouisly donated their time and we did fiver dollar hair cuts.3) Pick A Supervisor At my job we have several supervisors so we sold raffle tickets for a dollar a piece for the chance to throw a pie in the supervisor of your choices face during our pep ralley the money of the relay.4) Yard Sales We have done a yard sale for the past two years and have done really really good with them michael kors outlet portland maine. We ask everyone at work to donate whatever they can and we try to set up close to a busy road and make lots of sign telling where the money is going.5) Car Wash This year we did a car wash. We got together with a local auto parts dealer who donated the water hose, the soap, and the use of their parking lot. We raised over 400 michael kors outlet portland maine.00 just with this one.6) Raffle Baskets We call different businesses in our area and ask them to dnated different products for their businesses to make a basket to be raffle off at the relay for life. We make sure they know they do not have to be present to win.7) Change Buckets At my job you either work days or night shift michael kors outlet portland maine. So everymorning during shift change we carry a bucket around and ask the employees to give the extra change michael kors outlet portland maine.8) In Honor Of or In Memory of Each year we sell ,in honor of or memory of , paper and wood cut out . For example two years ago Relay was Disney themed so we were the diggin dalmationsen so we sold paper dog bones that you wrote out who it was for on it at a dollar a piece and we sold wooden bones for 8 dollars a piece and on the day of the relay we decorate our tent with them and after the relay you are able to pick them up and keep them.9) Kid friendly Tents We have learned that the more kid friendly your tent is at the relay the more money you raise. For example we have done face painting and a treasure dig michael kors outlet portland maine. The treasure dig was easy. We took a small kiddie pool filled it up with sand scattered small toys in it and the kids got to dig for a toy for a dollar.10) Pick Your Days Off The blessing of working for a small company is being able to do this one. At my Job we get our work schedules for a month at a time so we offer the first 5 people that donate 50 dollars the optoin to pick their off days for the following month and the first 5 to donate 25 dollar to pick their of days for two weeks on the folling months schedule michael kors outlet portland maine.
