I need some creative fund-raising ideas to raise $4500 for my yearbook committee. We are a small school with around 150 or 160 highschoolers. Any ideas?

You could also make a cookbook - have the teachers & students sumbit recipies... you can do them online real quick at http://www.gateway.com and I'm sure there are many others online too. You could then sell the books at your bake sale....

TOPLESS CAR WASH... and dont wash the tops of the cars. 3 bucks for the topless kind, 5 dollars for the regular. =)

My son's school recently held a "Basket Bash"/silent auction that earned a great deal of money. Every classroom and club made a themed basket, and local businesses and individuals donated services and items.

Make everyone give you 30 bucks and/or steal peoples' lunch money.

Keep it simple. Ask the students for any items they would like to donate for your committee. Then auction them off in a lot over eBay or sell them on Craig's list. It should work if you don't get too much trash.

How about offering to do errands, tasks for the local retirement center, senior center for a price.

Bake sales always go down a treat (no pun intended). You could also arrange for some disco's/supervised mixers for the kids, where they pay a small fee upon entry and have a donation box set up for parents to give to.

plan a pancake breakfast..or a carwash..or a marathon .. a big buffet .. a concert with food and dancing..soething to draw the crowds and reach your intended goal of $4500

I'm looking for some good ideas as well. I have to raise money for the Grade 8 Graduation trip to help subsidize what the kids' have to pay out of pocket. If you get any good ideas, let me know.
