Ways To Make A Frisco School Fundraising Event A Great Success

By Roger Richardson


It's a wonderful idea for parents to be involved in their kid's school events. If you have the time and are willing to spend it helping out, there will be plenty for you to do. Volunteering to head up a Frisco school fundraising event is a big job, but if done correctly, can be a smashing success. There are things to keep in mind that will help ensure you will raise a record amount of money for a worthy project.

It will be necessary to delegate some of the responsibilities. There are always talented parents willing to help. You might ask one who is especially creative to come up with a catchy slogan that gets your message across at the same time. This individual might also be put in charge of letting other parents know what's going on.

This can be done by sending out email blasts, putting articles in the local newspaper, putting up signs, and sending out newsletters. The pertinent information should be prominently displayed on the school website. The announcements need to include the date sales packages will be going home with the kids. It should be suggested that parents support their children without doing all the work for them.

You have to get started early. You also must make sure everyone understands what the goal of the fundraiser is. When they know why they are selling the items they will be more enthusiastic and work harder. You have to get the kids excited and involved. Teachers are usually happy to help out. They might get their classes to draw announcements that show how the school will be improved when they reach their goal. This is something that can go home with them.

You have to keep the excitement going. Kids have short attention spans. In order to keep them motivated, you could create a giant thermometer showing the progress of the sale and set it in the front lobby where all the kids will see it. You might set goals for the classes.

Most teachers are happy to cooperate with your ideas for rewarding those classes that meet specific goals. They might offer their students extra recess time or a special dress up day as motivation for reaching a goal. Individual students can be rewarded for meeting goals as well. You might blow up a photo of a high earner and place it on a Hall of Fame fundraising bulletin board.

Kids and parents dread school fundraisers because there tend to be too many of them during the year. Instead of several events, plan one or two huge ones. Be sure to let every parent and child know these are the only money making efforts they will be asked to participate in. They will appreciate this and be a lot more likely to get behind your efforts with their time and money.

Instead of giving out prizes to only the most prolific sales kids, you might offer prizes for kids who get three or five sales. More students will get involved this way. If you can get the kids excited about the project you'll have a winning fundraiser.
