i need help on how to raise money to go to paris with my school, im going to paris with my french class and its like $3500 and i need help on how to raise money.... only me and my other friend can work together to raise money, together we need $7000, do you have any suggestions on how to raise good money in a few years??? we are only 14.. so no job...

what are some good fund raising ideas??

Answer 1

Is this another blond joke??

Just why should people donate money for you to go to Paris?

This should be payed for by Mom and Dad, or u dont go. simple!!

Answer 2

Babysitting money can add up too. I agree that the price sounds unusually high for a school trip.

Answer 3

I dont know if pop bottles are worth anything in the country you live in are worth anything... If you are from canada. Then start a pop bottle drive from house to house....

Or have a car wash at the local Gas Station...

Could even have a hot dog sale infront of a store. I know this can be done if you aggree with the store before hand to buy the all the stuff from them for sale....

Answer 4

I would try making something and selling them--if you dont really know how to make any thing I would Mow grass if allowed, car wash, and just ask for donations some people are that nice. and rich or they just even gove you some pocket change(idont mean ten cents)--every bit helps

Have a fun trip and good luck with fundrasing

Answer 5

You'd better start learning french first, so at the time you'll be 18 you can really enjoy your visit! As, without any knowledge of their language, you won't enjoy it. Vraiment !

Answer 6

Cannot give suggestion about fund raisers, but the the price of  the trip of $3,500 seems quite very high (even if you fly from the West Coast)

As a group, should cost about $2,000 - $2,500 per person. incl. hotel, food and fares.

I guess the teacher wants to go free, huh??

Answer 7

WTF?! you're only 14! won't your parents pay for you i mean seriously..you're not even 18 yet!!! jesus!

Answer 8

these class trips always seem as tho they are way overpriced.     you definitely don't want to hear this......but......skip this trip....save your money to go w/ your other friend & parents or someone another time!!!!!  

you will make much better use of your money!!!!!  for $7,000 i can rent a nice house in france for a month and have money left over for plane tickets & food & a rental car...

Answer 9

Ask for donations from house to house

Answer 10

Bake sell:  buy cake mix or brownie mix and make cookies with the modified recipe on side of box.  Make large cookies and sell for good price.  

Save your allowance if any.

During the holiday season, if you are crafty, make some stuff and sell them.  Make sure the money you spend on supplies doesnt exceed what you will make. (profit)

Mow people's lawn: $20, mow your relatives' lawn: $30

If you live in a neighborhood with a park or community pool, have a root beer float and face painting party.  Take donations and charge like $1 for the floats.

Fall season: rake people's lawn.

Halloween bake sale, costume making, house decorating, anything you can do for people you know and charge for.

Saving pennies and coins you find in a jar, you'll be surprise how much you can get, especially after a few years.
