Fundraising ideas

Below are just a few of the many interesting ways to earn money for your Close Up trip:

• Run a Saturday Car Wash
• Rent out post-event Clean Up crews
• Have a no-bake Bake Sale (volunteers donate the money it would have cost them to bake)
• Do Face Painting in the park
• Offer House Cleaning services
• 50-50 raffle - split the proceeds with the winner
• Sell 'Help-with-Chores' coupon books to neighbors
• Collect donations from attics & host a Yard Sale
• Start a Penny Drive
• Host a holiday Balloon-o-Gram (deliver holiday messages with balloon bouquets)
• Ask friends and relatives to donate to your Close Up account
• Print copies of our Donor Brochure to hand out to potential funders

If you have a great fundraising idea you'd like to share with us and other schools, please email Dana Mueller.
