Our Junior Elite Company did GREAT at our fund raiser! They had a bakesale and.....Bagged items at a store! They were tipped for the bagging (some of the customers gave $20 or $30!). We raised
$969.20!!!!!!!
Anyone else have some great fund raisers planned or that have already taken place? |

Wow, what a successful fundraiser. How many kids worked to raise that much and how did you split it up amongst those who worked (ie. $X per hour worked??).
How did you set it up with the Supermarket? Did some of the parents stay and 'supervise' the kids? |

| I've heard of the bagging groceries for tips, but our teens said no way they would bag groceries in stores where their friends shop. Teenagers - go figure. |

| My dd is still 'pre-teen' so if it means her helping raise some money for her dance tuition, she might go for it. If all the kids in the goup participated, they'd probably have fun. |

We had 12 girls working and we just split up the total by 12 and that money went towards their first comp. I am not really sure how they set it up but i imagine it all started with a visit to the manager or owner of the store (?)! |

Thanks Deanne,
I asked DD and she thought it was a great idea - apart from needing the funds, I think it's important to see how long it takes to earn money to pay for all her dance expenses.
She sold M&Ms in the weeks prior to her summer program to help pay for it, and it really gave her a sense of accomplishment and a sense of realization that money does not grow on trees in our backyard. |

| Haha I agree (and if anyone DOES have a tree that grows money, let me know!lol). All the money in this fund raiser is going towards their first comp./convention(: |

| Wow that's a good haul. I'm not a fan of fundraising but things like that just make it easy and worthwhile. |
