Cold Weather Fundraising Ideas

It isn’t often we get to talk about cold weather here in the Valley of the Sun but right now with night time temps dropping into the twenties we can at least give them a nod.

Mini-doughnut eating contest ~ Or any food contest where people donate in order to participate. You can have tag-teams to let more be involved.

Themed volley ball ~ Have teams donate money in order to dress up in their own themed outfits and have a tournament.

Honey-Do ~ Raffle ticket buyers enter to win a crew volunteers to help with a home improvement project such as: paint, organize, put together shelving, install a light fixture, help winterize etc. you can set the limits.

Talent show ~ Entrance for a donation.

Bake good sale ~ Kick it up a notch with your baked goods for higher donation amounts. Ask more people if they can donate baked goods in order to save on the cost of ingredients.

S'mores ~ Offer people the chance to make s'mores at a bonfire when they give a donation. This can even be at a game tailgate.

Movie night ~ Rent or borrow a large projector and show an iconic movie with snacks for people who donate. It can be students or students with their families. Send out an invitation and remind them to bring their own chairs and blankets but you offer the hot coco.  Or... Have a smaller dinner and a movie night and serve attendees a meal while they watch a movie. You can ask people to donate foods / prep time and borrow tables and other supplies.

Restaurant take over ~ Some fast food chains used to participate in fundraising benefits to support area groups. Meet with the manager and ask if they will let you set up a time frame (i.e. Friday the 29th from 3-5pm) where they will donate a percent of the sales during that time. Just have people say the magic word (i.e. Prom) or show a ticket to the cashier. You just need to get as many people as possible to eat there during that time so keep it convenient.  Or... If you know someone with a restaurant who is willing to let you literally take it over for the night and have as many as can fit eat and donate.
