I am going to new york and need to make 1,620$ in 7 months im 13 and a guy? any ideas for fundraising?

Question

My school's band has been picked to play at Carnegie Hall in NYC, NY for the National Band & Orchestra Invitational Festival. Each Person Costs $1620.00 that will include hotel and airfair (roundtrip) for 3 days and 3 nights.

Answer 1

Make baskets and sell them on the street

Answer 2

How much is that a day? Oh let's see, $1620 total/7months= $231.42 per month. 231.42/30 days per month=$7.71 per day. That’s IT!  One task performed for $7.71 a day, each and every day, without fail, can easily get you that money.  Preferably a place related to music. Music stores, large or small in fact any store that sells music related products. Look for a Business Sponsor; they may even contribute more than $7.71 for your task if they can be considered a sponsor. Don’t be shy about asking  for a full sponsorship, all $1620, and they can maybe have their name, bumper sticker, shirt emblem, name on a hat, or other means like a gold stencil, on your instrument on stage at Carnegie Hall. With the full sponsorship, all their advertising can focus on the great event and their participation in it (Remind them it’s always good for their sales and company image). You may need to get advertised all over yourself, like athletes do to promote their sponsor

If that is not easy to get, ask for a "1/2 sponsorship" but they will have to share name space with another company (keep hush-hush about the other company until they commit. Keep your cards hidden until they sign the paper). You may need to get advertised all over yourself, like athletes do to promote their sponsor Make sure your parent or guardian is there to help do this for you and make it legal.  Another way is to ask a company to pay you $7.71 to do some cleanup in the back of the store or basement.

On a final note I would suggest writing a letter to Donald Trump (you never know, it might work).  Get in touch with the Trump Organization. You can write to 725 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022. You can also call them at 212-832-2000 or fax them at 212-935-0141, inviting him to attend AND if he can so kind as to recommend how you can raise more money fundraising.  

Answer 3

Wash cars, mow lawns, babysit, sell stuff on ebay, get friends and family to donate unwanted stuff and have a garage sale....just some ideas.   Good luck!
