How can my school raise money for Japan?

Question:


so we have this group at my school where we raise money, and this time its for Japan, do you guys have any ideas of what we could do?

Info about my school ..
-All Girls
-Uniforms
-The idea has to be limited to just the students and staff of our school..
um..i think thats all you needa know :) thanks if you have any ideas :)

Answer:


A car wash?

All girls, in uniform, water splashing everywhere. Sounds like a recipe for generous donations to me!
Granted you didn't state your age... I'm assuming high school?

Perhaps this idea will seem inappropriate given the cause, but it's a tried and true method for raising money for schools.


Another idea is to auction yourselves off to people for a a day of whatever you can offer. We did this at my elementary school once. It would be announced what each person could provide for a day (cleaning, mowing the lawn, etc.) and various parents would bid.


You might also consider some sort of raffle. Sell each raffle ticket at about $10, sell around 1,000 tickets and have a prize or gift certificate worth about $2,500. This way people will be interested in the prize (thus purchasing a/multiple raffle tickets) and you will still raise around $7,500.
