The John Carroll School
Bel Air, MD
|
Put on a variety show! John Carroll School's class of 2004
organized an elaborate one that spanned two nights. The school's
variety show has been a yearly tradition that draws lots of students
and their families and even brings back alumni. This year, they
sold around 600 tickets!
The event involved nearly a third of the senior class. Some students helped to organize the event, some performed in the show, some worked as stage crew, and some even volunteered to serve as ushers and greeters.

Hard
work pays off. John Carroll's variety show required students
to pitch their idea to the organizers, then rehearse for
three weeks before the show - fifteen hours a week, too.
The more effort you put into your fundraiser, the better
your results are likely to be.

Tradition
is a powerful thing. Think about ways you can tie your
fundraiser to existing traditions at your school like homecoming
or prom, or work to make your fundraiser memorable enough
that it can become a tradition all its own.

Don't
forget refreshments! Selling soda and snacks is a time-tested
way to earn more money at performances. Just check out your
local movie theater's popcorn prices! And selling refreshments
doesn't take a ton of effort as long as you keep them simple.
