Mom-O-Gram
Fundraising
Make corsages for a special event such as Mother's
Day, Homecoming, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, etc
as a fundraising project. Take
orders ahead of time and collect the $10 payment in advance. Be
sure to collect full particulars regarding the recipient's name and
delivery address. Have small note cards available for purchasers
to complete to accompany the corsages. A few samples for display at your table or booth
will help promote sales. Advance orders and collections will
allow you to purchase only what you need to make the number of
corsages ordered and reduce the need for advance funds.

On the Saturday before Mother's Day (or the night
before or morning of your chosen event) deliver the corsages
with accompanying cards. For an extra charge, the corsage can be
accompanied with a singing telegram.
Variation: Breakfast
in Bed Fundraising. Make up baskets of bagels with cream cheese,
a banana or orange, mug with a coffee and tea bag inside, and a Danish
or muffin. You could also include a magazine or a rose. Take orders in
the weeks beforehand. Arrange for pickups that morning or charge more
for delivery.
We have included a number of do-it-yourself fundraising ideas in this
section such as Mom-O-Grams 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. |
