I belong to a mother’s of multiples club. We hold an auction-live and silent every year. What I have noticed is that most of these mom’s come looking for a bargain rather that looking to support our club financially. How can we change that?
I am looking for ideas to get people to the auction and when they are there-get them spending.
Maybe you need some new marketing techniques or a new development plan. Make sure those who are invited to the fundraisers know where the club spends it’s money and why it’s so important to donate (buy something) and what the club means and it’s importance to the community.
I got nominated to attend the NYLC in Washington D.C. and it’s breathtakingly expensive. Im going to do fundraising inorder for me to attend. I have two ideas so far and they are: car wash and a date auction.
I need more ideas for a fundraiser and I need your help. Please give me some ideas and thanks in advance.

Well the question above is really straight forward. I just need a way to fund-raise 1,000 dollars to buy toys for the chairty. I was thinking of a fashion show, or a bake sale, car wash, or auction, but i want something even better. I don’t want to buy any fund-raise packages. Does anyone have anything that they know will give me alot of profit? Thank you for your time.
Do a garage sale!!!!! I raised over 1000 bucks for my girl scout troop, in just one garage sale! Get a ton of your friends to donate stuff that they do not want, like clothes, DVDs, cds, old baby toys. Then look through your bedroom for things that you do not want. And ask your parents for things that they don’t want. Get in a car. Put signs everywhere with arrows pointing towards your house. And set everything up! Make sure you set up really, really early, like 6 oclock. Thats when all of the old ladies go "garage saleing" You could also do a car wash with a bunch of friends, make sure your signs say why you are doing a car wash or garage sale. It will make people feel bad for you if you are trying to raise money.
Hope I helped! Good Luck! 
I am trying to find e-mail addresses of celebrities to try and get signed photos etc to raffle or auction to raise money for a care of the elderly ward in a hospital which badly needs new equipment. Many of our patients have no relatives so come into hospital without even the basic toiletries and so we want to buy nice soaps, toothpaste etc for them to have. Any help to raise money or any suggestions would be fantastic does anyone have any suggestions.
The last hospital fundraiser i was involved with we had a big bar b que, 5 bucks a plate, had a dunk a doc booth, a soft ball throwing contest, a bedpan toss, sold hospital t shirts for 20 bucks we had a face painter and balloon clown, and had a blast. a small blue grass band volunteered, people even danced..it was great!
What are some good ideas for fundraising baskets or just plain things to raise money for silent auction for Relay for Life? Thanks!
I am involved with the Relay for Life in Michigan. Some of the best silent auction items I have used are:
a basket FULL of breads, pies and sweets from the best bakery in your area
a bike
2 tickets to a Detroit Tigers game
Spa package for two
Check around your city, many business owner are willing to donate items!
