In-House Poker Run FundraisingAny one can do this one. All you need is a deck of cards, a notebook and pen. All who plays gets to draw 5 cards from the deck any way they want (not looking at them of course). They pay $5.00 a hand and the best hand wins half of the pot at the end of the time allowed. We do it for about 5 to 6 hours per day and raise about $100.00 per time for both the winner and the charity. Everyone wants to play again and again to beat the hand before. Sometimes the pot gets to be about $400.00, depending on the size of the group. It gets to be a lot of fun and everyone likes to play poker. You could add a joker for better odds or let them pay $3.00 more for 1 more card. We do this about 6 weekends a year and raise about $1500.00 for our state project for that year.

We have included a number of do-it-yourself
fundraising ideas in this section such as an In-House Poker Run
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.
