TASK :: Students on Mission :: Youth :: Money Matters

A great fundraiser is the "Why I Would Give (Kids Name here) $1.00 to attend (Your Event Here)." Make up 50 -100 sentences (samples below) that people can sign. Each line pertains to a different individual and they give the teen $1.00. Sample sentences:

Because I work with your parent.______________
Because I am a nice person._________________
Because I feel sorry for you._________________
Because I don't want to see you beg.__________

The funnier the reasons to give, the more people enjoy helping.

Penny Weigh

Divide your group into two teams. Set up a balance with a large bucket on each side. Each group should decorate their bucket and put their group name on it. Each time your group is together have team members come to the front and deposit all the pennies they collected that week. They can bring their own or solicit donations from family, friends or church members. Have a prize for the winning team and then have the teens roll all the coins to see how much they raised.

Coin Drive

Make a flyer describing your group and the project you are raising money for. Go door to door and ask people to donate their spare change toward your project.
