This idea is to search out historical buildings or
homes in an area. Map the course and take a bus load or two of people to
visit these places. A tour inside is a must
and get permission of course. You either get a spokes person to tell the
history or search it yourself if no one else
is available. Have a bus commentator, preferably someone
who knows the area and some history. Make one
of the venues a stop for morning tea and lunch. Seek giveaways for
passengers according to the theme. 20's, 30's
or whatever. Timing is crucial and must be
constructed before the actual day. This is a fun day and a great profile
for your fundraising cause.

We have included a number of do-it-yourself
fundraising ideas in this section such as a Cobweb Chase that
offer a break from traditional product sales. They were
developed by groups just like yours in an attempt have a little fun
with their fundraiser. Some of them are tried and true while others
show a lot of creativity ... and even wackiness in some cases.
All of them are obviously not appropriate for every group, but
sometimes, with only a little modification, your might find some fund
raising ideas that are perfect for your group. If you have an idea for
a do-it-yourself fund raiser you are willing to share with others,
please send it to us via email at .
Include anything
and everything you would want to know if you were hearing the idea for
the first time.
