Healthy Fundraising
I've been told that some schools are no longer doing "the usual" fundraisers - selling
candy, pizza & hoagies, holding bake sales and the like. Instead, they're opting for Healthy Fundraisers.
Sales can still be involved, if you like, but it's inedible items that they suggest.
Things like:
Flower Bulbs
Candles
Magazines
Cookbooks (with the families of the group contributing their recipes)
Jewelry
Calendars or Lottery Calendars (based on the daily number)
School Supplies
Holiday Decorations
Of course, charity events can still be used for fundraising, such as those described previously. For more information,
