Fundraising ideas...only big ideas no bake sales?

Question:I am in charge of raising $5000.00 to $7000.00 for my school and need some ideas for some big fundraisers..I can't do small bake sales or t-shirt sales.any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Answers:
I'd recommend doing a fundraising event with either an overlay of selling a product or a raffle. To get ideas for raising larger sums of money, go to http://www.fundraiserhelp.com
1. Silent Auction
Solicit businesses/individuals to donate goods/services, hold a dinner and silent auction for community.

2. Raffle
Find out what your state laws are for a non-profit holding a raffle. Besides a prize raffle, another possibility is a 50-50 raffle at the school's events.

3. Concessions
See if you can take a profit from working concessions at your school's events. Another possibility is to make some $ by working concessions at the local university or pro events. Some businesses also offer $ for school groups to come in and work for a few hours.

I would first find out what fundraisers your school is already doing, so you don't step on any toes. Your school's Student Activities director, or VP in charge of budget, would be a good place to start.
Take at look here:

You can raise alot of money,especially at Christmas time, which is right around the corner.

Also, you can do specific campaigns throughout the year.

One fundraising campaign you could do consists of recruiting people to sign up a new e-bay account.

Every new, active account, will earn $15 for your school.

This is just one of many ways this site can help your school raise money.
