Answer 1

We just did this for a trip out of the country as well. We raised enough to pay for the entire trip.

Most successful single day fundraiser was the car wash. Some stores will match what you earn although the one we used did not. We raised $800 each time we did a car wash. We did not use a set price. We made signs showing what we were raising the money for and asked for donations. Most car owners gave us $20 per car on average. We split it among the girls who participated.

Garage Sales was the second most successful event. We asked neighbors, friends and families to donate their unwanted items so that we could sell them. We made over $1000 per garage sale (this was split amongst the 3 girls that participated - if you do it alone you keep all the profit).

Candy Sales - we sold chocolate where we kept a percentage of the profit. My daughter made about $200 in this.

We did two raffles. First was a 50/50 raffle where we sold tickets for $1 each and the winning ticket got 50% of the total collected and we kept the other 50%. We made about $300 there. Second raffle was getting stores to donate items and using them as prizes to the raffle.

On a personal level we did TONS of recycling. This meant collecting plastic and cans not just from our own use but by going to sporting events and collecting plastic there as well. We averaged about $100 a month.

Letters....on a personal side we mail letters to everyone in our personal phone book explaining what the trip was and how it would help my daughter. We sent out 16 letters and only had 3 send nothing, the other 13 sent a total of $1325.00.

Good Luck!
