Where Has Dolly Been on Holiday Fundraiser

For this you fundraising event need a new doll, preferably one dressed in holiday clothes but no big deal if you can’ find one. Any dressed, appealing doll will do. Get one in a box as it seems to draw in the buyers. Then you need a load of holiday brochures and a plastic wallet so that you can make a book up. Use about 100 pictures cut out of the holiday brochures and stick them in the booklet with the name of destination and country. Use a pad to record the names and telephone numbers of buyers who are asked to look through the destination book and make a guess.

Charge $1.00 a guess. If you have the space you could use a large board instead of a book. Bit of work involved due to cutting out and sticking – also the buying of the doll, but a bit different from the name the doll and of course the book/board can be used over and over again. We spent about $20.00 but made just short of $100.00 after expenses taken out so it does work. Source: Clare H., SSAFA Forces Help (Middlesbrough, England)
