The following ideas are already out beause they happen to much.

Guitar Hero Tourny

Texas Hold em' tourny

ping pong tourny

and sort of bake sale

We are trying to raise money to do more community service, but our endevors seem to be fruit less.

Answer 1

Ask your local club or community centre if they will allow you to use their function room for a night. Speak to sporting teams (football, hocey etc) and ask whether they would be interested in siging and donating some memorabilia, or any shops willing to donate anything that would bring in some $'s. Put out some adds saying you are holding a fundraising night. $10 a ticket. Then auction the memorabila off. If your lucky and have it at club. they might put dinner on for the patrons cheap. You could then top up the price $5-10.

Answer 2

sponsored swims

sponsored reading of chemistry texts

Answer 4

What about a go Kart race?  Talk to local business and get them to put a car in the race and have other clubs put a car in charge say 100 per car.   I have put a link to rebuilding together okc on here  it is really big here in Oklahoma City!  My husband's company is Warren Cat they are in it every year!

Have a trivia night teams of 6 charge each team 125 or 25 a person.  Get your teams from your school to sign items to auction off and talk to a pizza place to donate pizzas for the night.  It's a lot of fun.

Family Fun Walk get companies to set up a booth like home health agencies, your college, Hospitals, Hospice agencies, spa companies, etc.
