I hadn't heard of that before. I like the new ideas to keep things interesting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743401 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 13:44:53 +0000 LemonJack 2743401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone I know was just posting recently about how her kids were selling 31 bags as a fundraiser for a school trip. I'd never heard of it as a fundraiser before, but thought it was a good idea because it was something different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743395 Sat, 03 Jun 2017 13:14:21 +0000 winter_wonder 2743395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: ooo! I like it!<br /> @pollywog: good point<br /> @silva @lionseyes: good idea on students for hire. There are quite a few older adults nearby who may need help with yard work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743279 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 16:41:50 +0000 lioneyes 2743279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-car wash<br /> -citrus fruit sale (we did this to help pay for our trip in HS, took orders and a giant truck drove up from Florida with grapefruit/oranges, then we hand delivered orders)<br /> -"students for hire"- babysitting, raking, snow shoveling, odd jobs and all money goes to the trip.<br /> -Fundraising dinners/days at local businesses- for ex, 15% of your order at a pizza place on a certain day goes to the trip, and the students help drive business there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743220 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 13:44:30 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2743220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to sell homemade baked goods at school events (school plays, recitals, dances, parent's nights, etc.).</p> <p>Or hot chocolate before school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743212 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 13:36:51 +0000 littlebug 2743212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: We did ours in the parking lot at a local playground/baseball field. It was so much fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743187 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 12:56:47 +0000 Pollywog 2743187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Silva's idea. Most fundraisers only raise a small percentage of what you are asking people to pay. So if I spend $40 for dinner or wrapping paper, you get $2-3. I'd much prefer a no overhead fundraiser like shoveling snow, lawn work, or a parents night out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743182 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 12:54:10 +0000 Silva 2743182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our local school rents out students to help with chores around the house. Lawn mowing, stacking wood, etc. I think its an awesome idea </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743172 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 12:39:44 +0000 Tanjowen 2743172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: The school my parents taught at did a yeti cup fundraiser last year that was very popular, especially if you can plan it that they arrive in time as Christmas gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743104 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 11:04:58 +0000 winter_wonder 2743104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Good idea! I think a lot of students/staff would get into this.</p> <p>@littlebug @peacelily: This is probably a dumb question, but where is the ideal location for this? At school? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743046 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 09:49:43 +0000 PeaceLily 2743046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think a car wash is a good idea! Or maybe a yard sale? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743010 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 08:56:10 +0000 littlebug 2743010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Car wash! We always did them for cheerleading and made loads of money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2743006 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 08:46:12 +0000 looch 2743006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a fun run? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fundraising-ideas-for-study-abroad-trip#post-2742835 Thu, 01 Jun 2017 16:09:30 +0000 winter_wonder 2742835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm taking students on a study abroad trip next year. The group is looking for fundraising ideas. Thoughts?</p> <p>Thank you:) </p>
