A few months ago, our school decided to have a fundraiser using scratchcards. This was the first ever scratchcard fundraiser we ever had. The fundraiser was for the annual fundraiser we have every year in order to raise money for the students.
This year the school decided to make the prizes for the students better than ever in order to increase the amount of money raised. The first top prize was a 50 inch plasma screen which was extremely popular. The second place prize was 2 tickets to Disney World. The tickets were good for 3 days in the park. The third place winner would received a blockbuster gift card for 25 dollars. The better quality prizes were what truly had the students excited about the fundraiser. They were also aware that the money being raised would be used for them which also increased their enthusiasm.
What truly is key to a successful fundraiser is the prizes and the level of enthusiasm. Everyone wants to benefit from anything they possibly can. Therefore, better prizes and benefits result in a lot more money raised. In the end the school and its students raised a total of 6,500 dollars to use for the end of the year parties. The money was also used to update the school’s library, and add more comfortable chairs.
