Shower With Flowers Fundraising

The South Shore Junior Women's Club of New Jersey has an ongoing fundraising event similar to the flamingo flocking.  Our symbol is the daisy, so we use flowers instead of flamingos, we like to use the term "Shower with Flowers". We scatter 40-60 brightly colored flower pinwheels throughout the front lawn of various homes. We started with club members initially but it didn't take long before we were "Showering" outside of our small group of women.  We just stared this fundraiser this July and we  have been averaging one home per week.  We recently ordered more flowers and have begun an additional committee.  Our system is much like the flamingo flocking. We charge a $5.00 donation for simply removing the flowers, $10.00 to remove and select someone to send them to next, and $15.00 to remove, resend, and find out who sent them to you.  Most people choose the $15.00 option.  This has been our most enjoyable and successful long-running fundraising idea, so far.

We have included a number of do-it-yourself fundraising ideas in this section such as a Shower With Flowers 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.
