Trike-A-Thon
This is a great fundraising event that the kids will love! Young children get donations per lap that they will ride on their tricycles on a given day or flat donations. Hold this event at your facility on a Saturday or Sunday so the parents can come cheer the kids on! Invite local Moms Clubs, Preschool Classes and Day Care! The Flat donations (like $1.00 a person) might be the easiest have the Parents ask around at work and family to get donations for the kids to ride. Also have great prizes for all the kids that participate. Be sure to get an article in the local paper!
I thought this would be so fun - I would love to see my son in one of these activities!

One os the things that I have found I can do pretty well is beg. So one of the most successful fundraisers I have conducted is the silent auction. In the past 3 years, I have raised 12,000 buckaroos.

One of our on going fundraisers is soda pops. We had a refrigerator donated to our department and we stocked it with drinks and water. We sell them for 50 cents each. You wouldnt believe the amount of money you can make in just a month of soda. Our staff would rather give us the 50 cents to help with resident activities and they save 25 cents. The outside machines cost 75 cents per a drink, and it takes your money!
We had a raffle back in july. Tickets were $1 each or 6 for $5. We went around to local businesses and asked for donations. We had free gym memberships, $50 gift cards, free tumbling lessons, free movie tickets, free meals, free movie rentals, etc. We had about 25 different items to raffle off and all we had to pay for was the raffle tickets which were $10, we ended up making over $1k in profit from donated items from our local community.
Hope this helps :-

We have a very large fundraiser each year at Valentines day. We send out fliers offer to make balloon bouquets for anyone and deliver to local schools. This is a very inexpensive way for families to send things to their kids on Valentines day. Our arrangments range from $6.00 to $25.00 each to enclude a candy bag two latex balloons and one mylar balloon. The familys can add different things to the order but you can buy all the items you need through S&S or oriental Trading at a very cheep cost to the facility. We made over $2000.00 last year with this event and the families loved it. We even had ones bought for our residents. if you would like any of the information on this event please feel free to contact me at vickie.dykes@junipercommunities.com
