Sucessful School Fundraiser ideas

[snowwite]

I am trying to come up with a good,quick fundraiser idea for drama and chorale parent boosters and the class of 2007 kids because they have a lot of senior wek expenses. Any suggestions that have worked?
Thanks

For events such as this at my school, they sell candles, coupon books, and fruit. I really hate this idea. I am totally in favor of candy bar sales. The seller sells MUCH more because it is much easier to get someone to buy a dollar candy bar than a 15 dollar candle, 25 dollar coupon book, or 30 dollars for 12 grapefruit. Parents can take some to work to gain extra money. They are especially great for high school students to sell because, it has been the experience here, that students actually hunt down the sellers for the candy after school. In the past, I've had people waiting at my locker after school for them. In the past, we have also sold wrapping paper but that was pretty obnoxious, too, from the seller's standpoint.

Just had someone tell me today that her school made a $10,000 profit from selling cookie dough (in tubs.) Not sure how many they sold, but she said it has a great profit margin.
Krispy Kreme fundraiser cards a good idea as well. Everyone always wants to buy those.

We cant steal other booster groups ideas and candy,carnations and entertainment book is already gone. I was looking at lollipops?

Never thought of Krispy kreme. They have not been a big hit here and are already closing shops
