My favorite event is always the school walkathon. It's an all day event where the children walk and get support from family members based on how many miles they go. What I like is that it's healthy and very social. The casual atmosphere makes it easy to get to know people as everyone walks.
With the economy as it is today, we thought a staple such as a coffee fundraiser would be an excellent fundraising program. There is a ready to go coffee fundraiser at
Home - Fundraising Together
with order forms and a custom label program for schools who want their own blend and label.
The best fundraiser that I have seen in the past few years for our school is Joe Corbi's pizza kits. They offer a wide range of products from pizza kits, cookie dough, pies, etc all rolled into one brochure.
They deliver it to the school and it needs to be frozen or refrigerated, but otherwise, it's a great fundraiser and we make a good profit off of it.
