I need fundraising ideas?

At my local religious institution we had a raffle for a car. We got the necessary permits to do so and only issued 300 tickets that people paid $100 for. In the end we got the car donated by one individual, but I'm sure you can find a nice car for $20,000 and still raise $10,000.

People were excited to participate because a 1/300 chance at winning a car is better than any lottery you can find. Knowing that the money was really a donation only made things easier. This idea also has the benefit of not having to nickel and dime thousands of people, you only need to sell 300 tickets.

Of course you can adjust the numbers to fit your exact needs, but you get the idea.

I was raising money for my soccer team using the ESPN Coaches Program. This worked well and we received our money quickly. Unfortunately, the only magazine they sell now is ESPN the Magazine.

Presuming that your desire to run in the Italian Marathon will ALSO benefit the L & L Society, I'd advise that your fundraising efforts include physical activity with the donors. Host a "jumping-jack-athon" and invite school-aged children to solicit donations for each jumping jack performed by the child. You could raise quite a bit of money if you made your contest city-wide, and had age categories for elementary, secondary, and middle schools.

You should be able to contact the school's principals and then gym teachers to enlist support. Maybe you could even get a local shop to donate trophies, tee-shirts, water bottles, etc. Keep the "training" and physical activity in your focus, and I bet you'll get support!

Here are some ideas: Host a dinner with other fellow members on the team, and invite people to it. Have school children sell candies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
