Everyone would come in and buy chips to play the games. They wouldn't get their money back, but the people with the most chips at the end of the night could win a little prize.

We also had a "Mr. GQ" pagent for the guys, which is normally very entertaining. All you would need really are participants, a speaker, prize/trophy, tickets, and a place to do it in! It actually started an annual pagent at our school! We did a beauty pagent this year and raised money for PTA.

SCHOOL, WE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN IN THE CLASS, DONATED AND PUT ON SPAGETTI DINNERS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WE HAD MADE ENOUGH MONEY TO SEND EACH CHILD AND 5 CHAPERONES TO DISNEY WORLD. OTHER FUNDRAISERS YOU CAN DO WOULD BE CAR WASHES ALSO OR 50/50 RAFFLES, WHERE YOU SELL TICKETS AND HALF GOES TO THE WINNER AND THE OTHER HALF GOES TO THE CLASS OR YOU CAN TAKE THE WINNERS PORTION AND BREAK IT DOWN INTO SEVERAL CASH PRIZES. YOU COULD ALSO GO TO SEVERAL BUSINESS AND GET THEM TO DONATE ITEMS AND RAFFLE THEM OFF ALSO. TRY AND STAY AWAY FROM SELLING CANDY AND MAGAZINES BECAUSE JUST ABOUT EVERY SCHOOL DOES THAT AND PEOPLE GET TIRED OF SEEING KIDS COMING WITH THEM AND TELLING THEM NO THANKS. WHEN MY SON WAS IN ELEM.
