I am on our company's fundraising committee, we try to gather some money for our summer event and a holiday party. We do ask vendors to come in and we get a % of what they sell.
ANy other ideas? Book fairs, craft fairs, hot dog day????
what can we do for St. Pat's day?
we are going to sell choc strawberries for Vday
THANKS !!!!!

St. Joesph's Day is right around the corner; how about selling pastry on that day? Green carniations on St. Patrick's Day? Chocolate lolipops for V-Day? Pizza party, everyone pays $xx dollars to get 2-3 slices of pizza and a drink delivered to their desk? Sometimes pizza places will give a discount if it's for fundraising.

Thanks! I'm putting it on my list for our next meeting!

I think the hotdog day is a great idea, depending upon how many people you have in your office. Hotdogs and buns are cheap, as well as the condiments. My mom's company also did a small cookbook, which generated quite a bit of money. Employees contributed recipes, then sold the books to family and friends (as well as buying them themselves).

For Easter here a couple of churches make chocolate covered peanut butter Easter eggs. They taste just like a giant Reese cup. Last year they made strawberry and cocunut filled ones too.
Also if your company let's you have casual day, you can charge employees a $1.00 to wear blue jeans. Our company does that and donates the money to The Childrens Miracle Network.

I have never heard of a company doing a fundraiser. Where do you work? This seems odd to me but I have only worked at major retail stores or very large companys (like a casino and Disneyland). What do you use the funds raised for? Just a little courious.

Your mind is like a parachute, it only works when it is open.

I work for an insurance company, office, and we have vendors come in to sell their goods and we get a percentage, we use this money for our summer company event and we use it for our holiday party to book the hall. If we have fundraisers it just more we can do. we are thinking of selling choc covered strawberries and pretzels for valentines day

OP...I don't know your location, but do you have a Bruster's ice cream near you? We've sold their BOGO coupon books and have raised alot of money for our school... ~Lisa
