I am doing a breast cancer fundraiser through my middle school. I have a few ideas for items to sell and I was planning on donating the money. Although, I dont know how to do this through the school without the school losing money, unless we sold a ton of items, and 50% went to school 50% went to the Breast cancer research? Could someone offer some advice to help me out a little to help me keep this organized. Thanks!

Instead of selling something where the school or charity gets a percentage of the sale price, how about organizing a walk/jog athon? Participants can get pledges from friends and family for each lap around the track or playground they walk/run. Although October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you might consider donating the money raised to the American Cancer Society so the money can be used to help all types of cancers, or you might donate the money to a local hospital for their cancer research or cancer support.

Although selling items can make some money you will have a lot of work and pay a percentage to some company. The best thing I can think of for you is to go around frequently to your family members, co-workers, friends, teachers, students, 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.

You might want to take a look at a brand new fundraising program sponsored by a candle company that is coming out in October. The company will be offering a special breast cancer fundraising candle that the company will donate a percentage of proceeds to the Susan G. Komen breast cancer research organization for each candle sold. Your school can use this candle as a fundraiser by taking orders for candles (no risk of losing money since there is upfront cost to the school) so that both your school and breast cancer research would benefit.
