Some Ideas from Others

The Burger King in our area has "benefits" to support area groups like Girl Scouts, M.O.P.S., etc.. All you do is arrange with the Burger King the date and time for example Friday the 5th from 3-5pm and they donate a percent of the sales during that time! You just need to get as many people as possible to eat there during that time so that you get the most money possible. The Burger King here says they did one for the Girl Scouts last month and the girls made $500 in those couple hours!!

For a great fundraiser: Make 2 or 3 dozen sugar cookies. If there is a holiday that is close by, you could make the cookies out of a certain shape, such as a heart for Valentine's or a tree for Christmas. Then give the kids a plastic knife or spoon and some icing and let them decorate away. Very fun and easy to do!!
