Do-It-Yourself
Fundraiser Of The Month
50-50 Raffle: A simple fundraiser that
involves the sale of raffle tickets with the proceeds being
split evenly between the winner and your organization.
Many clubs include a 50-50 raffle at
all their regular monthly meetings. Tickets are sold throughout
the 'get acquainted' or informal portion of the meeting.
The
profits can be earmarked for an individual ongoing project, or
included with other funds raised for your main charitable
goal. (More) |

A+ BonusBucks are credits that accrue with
each purchase using Giant Food's Bonus Card. At the end of each month,
the A+ BonusBucks are used in a calculation to determine your
school's cash total, which, then, is automatically credited to
your school's account. Customers can designate a school(s) (up
to three) to benefit from the A+ BonusBucks that accrue. After
signing up for the BonusCard, customers can complete a School
Designation form by filling in the desired number of schools (up to three) to benefit from the program. Register at your local Giant Food store. |
