Hey guys,

We're trying to raise money for our high school formal - does anyone have any good ideas one what to do? We're pretty tired of the whole 'chocolates' thing, it's been done so many times! Help!

maybe some stupid stuf, list student vs teacher sports like netball or something (we use that one for project compassion every yr) ...or you could always just roll the juniors n get their lunch money or whatever

We also held a disco - the only prob was that we had about ten people kicked out for being drunk and fighting. funny though. at least we got to choose the music.

Too Lazy -

We're not all that wealthy an area but we wanted to put on a really good formal, and so we want to raise some money to make sure that everyone could afford to go.

Mojo_Jojo -

Lip Balm? Are you sure it works? How much did you guys make??

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Kerno,

We bought 200 lip balms off the smudge balm guys and had a stall at lunch times as well as getting some people to sell to their friends. each lip balm cost us $2, we sold them for 4, and made 2 profit. of course, we didn't sell many to the boys but all the girls that i know bought a couple so it was a pretty easy way to make $400 bucks.

Yeah, I know of a few schools who are using smudgebalm to fundraise. Lip Balm is pretty popular during this season...
Went to the website, looked pretty interesting!

Well in my oppinion you can go past havin' a bbq, you always tend to make a fair bit of money out of those. As a school leader at my school we have come up with plenty of fundraising ideas. So are as follows:

* Leg waxing - some of guys volunterred out of our year group to get their legs waxed. And people could buy a waxing strip and pull it off themself (with a bit of guidance). We found that everyone in the school was willing to get invoved. Even one of our teachers voluterred to have his legs waxed.

* Mufty days - we find this the easiest way to raise money, about $400 garuntteed.

* 100 club - you could always have more numbers if u wished. But generally you just sell each number for about $2 and once they're all sold you draw out a few numbers and award some prizes of your choice.

*Pizza day

* Crazy hair day

* Slave day

*Sporting competitions

* Trivia

* talent show

* match the name to the face - try and get a bunch of photos of teachers when they were younger and set a board up in a room with the photos and names on a wall. People must pay before they walk in the door, even if they do not wish to fill in a form and have a guess.

* car washing

* money line

* how many lollies in the jar

There's tones of things out there.
Though at our school we haven't even thought about raising money for our formal yet, we are still raising money for our two chosen charities for the year.
