Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
talent shows!. and let anyone who wants to enter in, like all the dancers, cheerleaders, guys who do bad comedy ect!. it gets dull if it's all the same thing!.

male beauty pagents!.!.!.!. seriously, instead of doing the prettiest girls, get some football players together and do a mock of like, Miss America!. Make it as FUNNY as possible!. We used to sell out these kind of events!. Make sure you get guys who can take a joke!.

do a "something" a thon!. Like, dance-a-thon, or video-game a thon!. You get sponsers or doners for each participant (you need a lot of people, like the whole orchestra) but you can really make it fun and most people will give you a dollar or donate some prizes!. If doner's don't work, make entry like $5!.

have all the local garage bands play at a battle of the bands!. highschool guys will LINE UP to play a gig - even if you don't pay them!. make up a standard rider of what equipment you will and won't provide, and make sure you have several rehersals! Get a teacher to approve the lyrics (inform them they can't play if it's not school friendly, you don't wanna get shut down!.!.!.) and then charge anyone that wants to see it a cheap $2-$5 cover!. Again, if you promote it and talk it up, you can pack your auditorium or gym!.

see if the school will let you sell cookies at lunch or right after school!. we used to sell hot chocolate chips (done in a toster oven) for $!.50!. we made thousands!. especially during football season!. but this was before everyone was concerned with childhood obesity!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi, how about a discount card program, they're really easy and can make money fast!. I'm with Business With a Cause, we work with businesses to try to build support for schools & other organizations!.

We have a Discount Card program which could help raise money quickly!. The cards look like a credit card but we can customize them to look like whatever you want!. We will also contact a local pizza place in your city to secure a discount to go on the card!.

The cards will be sold for $10 each and will only cost $3 each so you make $7 per card!. Donors love these because they save money while they're helping you!. We can start this in about a weeks time!. I can be reached by e-mail or at 806-789-8948!.

Look forward to hearing from you!
