A unique fundraising approach to support a unique school program, Ski Utah offers an in-school learn to ski and ride program for fourth graders. In trying economic times, some schools cannot afford the fees associated with the program. Thus, “Flake a Friend” was created. Donations towards the “Flake a Friend” fundraising will be accepted on the Ski Utah’s website. For donations of $50 or more, five large snowflakes will find their way to a yard of a friend or family member selected by the donor.

There are many schools feeling a financial pinch due to the loss of much needed federal and state funding. Some schools are inventing some unique school fundraising ideas to help fill the lacuna of funds in the school’s budget.
Highland School will be hosting a hotdog and chili supper on Tuesday (11/10). Tickets for this fundraising event will be $5. The proceeds will help provide supplies for the teachers such as paper, ink, and cleaning supplies.

In a struggling economy, many schools are having troubles keeping their extracurricular activities active. Michael Krop High hosted nationally known teen sensation Tiffany Giardina. The singer and her band raised nearly $8,000 for the school’s athletic program. Just last weekend, the school held a fundraising golf tournament, which brought in $4,000.
To help keep the cost down, students are even playing groundskeeper on the fields by pulling weeds and maintaining the fields.

Does your school have a golf team?
If you answered yes then this school fundraising idea could be one stroke away! Hailing to us from Foothill High in Pleasanton California comes Travis Rowney whose personal achievement of 54 birdies and one eagle raised $725!
Foothill High’s school fundraising event was a great success, it allows kids to go outside and play a sport they love while raising money for great causes. To start your own golf fundraiser, simply have your team collect pledges for the number of birdies (or in my case bogeys) made.

There is nothing better than communities pulling together to help each other out. Fundraising doesn't need to be a one organization deal. Take the East High School's Post Prom Committee for an example, their School Fundraising Idea involves CiCi's Pizza which will be holding a fundraising event today (10/15/09) at their pizza shop. For every purchase made during this pizza fundraising event, a percentage of the sale will be donated to the school.
