Fundraising ideas for high school kids to buy in school to donate money to breast cancer research


Fundraising ideas for high school kids to buy in school to donate money to breast cancer research?
I'm in high school & I need a fundraiser idea to sell at school that kids in 9th through 12th grade would like to buy to donate money to breast cancer research. We can't sell any foods or candy because it's against school rules. I need something kids will like, for example last year we did pink hair extensions for girls & made alot of money. Thanks

How about a pink cell phone sock? I have several of these and use them for my phone, iPod, headphones, make-up brushes, etc... You might even be able to get a company to donate them.

The best thing I can think of for you is to go around frequently to your family members, co-workers, friends, neighbors and so on and collect as many used cell phones and ipods as possible and then visit: http://www.cellitused.com and sell the phones to this company. I think they even buy broken phones and ipods as well. If you send them phones every couple weeks then you can probably make $300 + a month, depending on how many you send them. It also looks good because you are trying to help the environment as well (good selling point when you are asking people for thier old phones). Most people just throw their used cell phones in a closet, drawer, or trash anyways. I hope this helps.

Hello, Book sales may be a fund raising event of interest to you. The money can be used for club purposes and or donated to a literacy organization. All across the nation, many organizations hold book sales that feature cheap books that were either donated or removed from circulation of a library. Typically these sales sell books, CDs, magazines, and DvD's for rock bottom prices. This type of fundraiser helps generate much needed funds while promoting literacy in the community. One resource I have found online that gives a good overview on how to run one. http://www.associatedcontent.com/articleĆ¢€¦ Being charity organizations, these nonprofit organizations often have limited resources to advertise and promote their sales. As such, many people are never made aware of the excellent deals they are missing within their own communities. That's where http://www.booksalemanager.com comes ins. We are attempting to bridge the gap between Organizations looking to more effectively advertise their sale, and people looking to find more places to get good deals on books and media. Organizations and other non-profit groups can freely advertise their sale on our site. People looking to find sales can use our powerful search tools to find these sales. They can search by state, zip code, sale size, and date ranged. Furthermore, people can create an account and save sales to their calendar to help them better track the sales they want to go to. Accounts also allow users to be notified if a new sale is listed in their area and send notifications to remind them of an upcoming sale. All these features help increase sales for the organization and promote a successful sale. I believe book sales are a great way to find bargain books and media while at the same time supporting the local organizations we all know and love. It's a total win-win. Thank you for your time and if you have any other questions, please let me know. Jessica Booksalemanager.com
