We had a great and successful fundraiser this past weekend that I wanted to share with everyone. The local ice skating rink allowed us to have the entire facility for two hours on a Saturday (from 4:00pm – 6:00pm). They normally charge $8 for entrance and skate rentals. We negotiated that they give us $4 of each entrance fee. We called local Christian book stores and asked volunteers to gather up small door prizes. We ended up having almost 80 kids show up and raised over $300 with minimal work!

The event was a blast and was very easy to plan and run. I did a short 5 minute devotion towards the end of the 2 hours in the middle of the ice rink (I felt like a circus master!) and then gave away door prizes. Our goal was to have a bit more in attendance but we counted it a success none-the-less.

With this formula, $1000 would be very easy to raise with 250 in attendance.
