Back to the list--
From our foundation archives, we list some fundraisers executed by local education foundations around the state in 1997-98 and 2001. Of course, we added comments.
Tying certain types of fundraisers to community festivals, holidays or other events should increase audience.
For example, when the Boren Mentoring Initiative recently took its Magical Mentoring Tour to Guymon, board and staff members as well as volunteers of Main Street Guymon and its Main Street Guymon Transformers mentoring program provided delicious, plentiful "from scratch" salads and homemade rolls for the event lunch. They volunteered their time, resources, and skills for an organization fundraiser, but the attendees "made out like bandits" because of the extraordinary quality of the food and the hospitality. A huge win-win!

Incidentally, Kiwanis Clubs all over Oklahoma have pancake breakfasts and/or bean dinners often with silent and live auctions. Tip: The two Edmond Kiwanis Clubs make more profit from selling advertising on the paper placemats than on the pancakes. Think about it!
