In order to raise money through Cheerleading Fundraisers, you must follow certain unwritten rules to make a successful venture.
Never land yourself into trouble in your bid for collecting some quick money.
Here are the do's and don'ts of fundraising that will help you stay safe.
The Ingredients Of Successful Fundraising Programs: * Gather the members of your organization for a brainstorming session so that they are motivated the right way for the fundraising programs.
Take a note of every idea that you come across or suggested to you by others and store this for a second session.
* While you want to distribute notes and write ups in the course of your fundraisers, always take a companion while standing in street corners for the purpose of distribution.
* If you have included bake sales within your plan, do it yourself and discover the fun of cooking.
* Include a group of cheerleaders to make your school fundraising more exciting for all.
* If you want to make interesting jewelry or handiwork for sale, select one or two member for taking charge of each craft.
Be as versatile with your options as possible and include bracelets, jewelry boxes, colorful pens and pencils, stuffed toys, etc.
* Make your jewelry designs popular by flaunting them in school.
This will hike the sales amazingly.
Distribute the funds collected among all the contributors of your fundraising group equally.
This is to maintain unity among you.
*Try to put up candy stalls in your school in the school hours, as that will ensure maximum students gathering.
A door-to-door operation is less beneficial and can be done only during vacations.
* Even if you opt for the door-to-door candy selling option, take a fundraising member with you and go in the most comfortable family time of the day when they will receive you without feeling disturbed.
* If the objective of your fundraising effort is to get new uniforms for your sports team, advertise the dream design around your school and raise the support of your fellow students.
*Include a cookbook in your for-sale items.
It must have the recipes of your teachers and parents with their names mentioned clearly.
Make it attractive and easy to read and understand.
Avoid These Pitfalls When Planning And Running An Event: * In the brainstorming session, avoid criticizing a member in rough words.
Even if you do not like his or her idea, do not be discouraging.
* For Car Wash fundraisers, do not use misguiding signs like "Free Car Wash" as this will send a wrong signal to your target group.
* Do not take the active help of parents and elders.
Remember, this is your fundraisers and you must be the one to take responsibility for every task.
* During your door-to-door sales, do not go in the resting time of the people as they will feel disturbed and will not cooperate with you.
Do not go to the houses of people you are not acquainted with.
* Do not use over-stylish fonts in your fundraising cookbooks.
People will find them difficult to read and even illegible.
* Do not get hurt during your stunt-off shows.
The fun of such shows is their daring element but you should not risk your well-being just to entertain others.
Follow these guidelines and make your fundraising efforts fun, successful, and safe.
