Fundraising!

[sarahonfire]

So, I thought I'd make a thread where people could post ideas for fundraisers. I think CFU would benefit greatly from extra funds (of course), but also from having more events that are campus-wide and not playtimes. I think we could do lots of fun stuff - I'm thinking like a mini-carnival or something, but we charge for some things. Here's an idea of a line-up:

Face-painting station - $1-2
Popcorn/funnel cake - $1-2
Cake walk - $5 (you get a whole cake, so higher price?)

and maybe some free things like little sideshows (Nicole eating glass, fire-eaters eating fire, etc)

It would be pretty easy to throw together, and maybe we'd make more money than just selling concessions at shows once per semester?

Another thought is just to pick one of those things and sponsor it (for example - CFU Cake Walk, FPH Faculty Lounge). Just something small and quick we could put together, and if the mood strikes us, include some little performance if we want to.

Meh? Just a-brainstormin'. Stormin' my brain.

Toga party, togas not included.

the thing to keep in mind is to do it early in the semester & to know what we want to spend the money on- we're not allowed to accrue money in our student group account from semester to semester! and, seriously, we get as much as we need from FiCom & Coca.

but i think we should do all those things anyway. for kicks.

like A PARADE!!! yay!

we could also work on grant-writing.
