You always see fundraisers for high school sports teams. Why don’t people provide fundraising for something important like sending people to college, or building a homeless shelter in the town? I have thought about starting my own so that I could raise money and go back to school. I think that if it for a good cause then people might be more eager to give over money. Personally I don’t see a football team or any extra curricular activities being a good cause. It is more like a waste of time.
If I were to actually make a fundraiser to earn money for college then I would probably sell candy or raffle tickets. I could give away a television, but with a note in the rules in order for the television prize to be valid only if I receive over a certain amount of entries and / or a certain amount of money. I think it would work, I don’t even think I would need to embellish anything. If I just gave a short synopsis of my life then I might be able to bring in a decent amount of money. I don’t know if I would ever do that though, I would probably feel too bad and if I saw a donation box I would probably donate it to someone without a house or something.
