College Fundraiser

It seems that no matter where you turn people need more money, and college is certainly no exception. The advantage of a college fundraiser is that these students are old enough to run the fundraising program themselves! Nevertheless, they may still require assistance and some guidance to make sure everything happens at the right time in the right place.

Of course, by the time these students get to college, there is a good chance that they have already been involved in many school fundraisers, so the difficulty is to get something they can get everyone involved with, and selling chocolate bars just might not do that. Below is an article with  a very different idea, one that definitely will not suit everyone, and definitely is not recommended for younger students, but as a college fundraiser, it has some merit. Take a look and see what you think! 

College Fundraiser Success

Having been through many school and sports fundraisers, there is a big difference when it comes to the college fundraiser. For a start, and with luck, the college students will run their own fundraiser, although parents may be encouraged to support the fundraiser other than as a volunteer organizer!

So, the trick is to find something that the students are really into, that is legal of course. Now teens and adults are getting more and more into having tattoos put on their bodies, most of them being permanent. But you could organize a fundraiser using temporary tattoos. You could design your own around the particular team or event your are promoting, and you could work with an online company, or get the support of someone locally.

Young children love to copy their elders, and temporary tattoos is one way that they could be involved, purchasing and then wearing their tattoo for the college fundraising day. If the tattoos support a specific team rather than the college in general, you may want to get a supply of these temporary tattoos to sell for future games, as a show of team support and team spirit.

Now this is a different kind of college fundraiser, but worth a try. Selling chocolates is no longer as successful as it once was, gift paper never was a huge success, candles are working well right now, but temporary tattoos could be a good move, and you can always bring out new designs in the future.

Whatever you choose for your college fundraiser, we hope it will be a success for you, as those college funds are getting harder to raise every year.
