I always do fund raising for my scout troop, there's tons of things you can do and do a few together to get more money.**Timbuk2** wrote: »I'm doing a Dublin-Galway cycle next February in aid of Crumlin Children's Hospital as part of a group, but will have to raise money between now and then.
Does anyone have any fundraising tips? I've never really had to do any serious fundraising, and obviously can't just ask people for money! Bag packing, coffee mornings?
If you have a coffee morning make sure you do it after mass in a place near the church and you'll get all the old ladies in, and if you have a big cake sale at the same time you can make great money. Maybe a raffle too, but you might not want too much at the same time.
Other things we've done are bag bagging, karaoke nights (in a pub, selling tickets before hand and have a raffle there too), bring and buy sales, choir night (in a church with small local choirs and some slightly bigger ones). There's so many options, I can't think of any more right now but there are tons!
Just try not to take on too much on your own at the same time, split the jobs up and make sure everyone does their part.
Good luck

Thanks for the answers, Aoifey and shadowninty.
Not sure I have the organisational skills to pull off something like a karaoke night, but I'll think of something!
Shadowninty, I don't really want to call around to people's doors just asking for money, it being a recession and all
At least I have plenty of time to raise money, up until next February. I've heard the idea of getting a secondary school to hold a no-uniform day, but I'm not sure my secondary school would do this for me, they normally do it for CSPE action projects and the like - might be worth a try though?0 -

Its worth a shot, my school was always happy to help out a past student, we had non uniform days for loads of things!
If you're part of a sports club or anything you could organise a games day like a football blitz, fun tennis night, etc (whatever relates to a sport or hobby you do!).
You could try dropping some of the sheets into local shops or pubs. From what I've seen they don't really get a HUGE amount of money but everything helps and at the least you'd be advertising for a good cause!
You could try collecting with buckets in the street, I'm not sure if you have to get a permit for it or not, but if you were in a busy place might be worth it!0 -

You went to my school...
I'd say they'd let you since it's for a good cause, there's supposed to be one next week and there'll probably be one at Christmas too so if you ask soon there's a chance :P

Depends. Are you trying to get as close as possible to the minimum, or maximum possible total distance?0 -

I genuinely have no idea
All I know is whats written on the page.. And that if I do well I get to choose the music we listen to in maths for a month..
I think its more minimum than maximum tho, but I dont know if its better to have 40 connected in a short distance or 60 at a slightly higher...0 -
