Share your wealth and raise money for a charity!

Believe it or not when you share you get more. So as your raising money for your choir trip to Europe take a percentage off the top and donate it to the food shelf. Back in my cheerleading days we did a competition that raised money for Cystic Fibrosis research - it was fun, we competed, and raised cash for charity! OH and if you don't believe "add on's" work.... about 3 weeks after the competition we had the opportunity to order 8x10 team photos - hummm.... I wonder where the money went? Of course it went to charity!

When I supervised the Admissions Ambassadors I encouraged a community service event. We did a fundraiser for Toys for Tots. They did a penny war in the resident halls. (Penny war is outlined in "create an event") The Admissions Ambassadors got a pizza place to sponsor a pizza party for the winners, and then they took the cash and went to buy toys - then they took it to the next level and got the toy store to donate toys as a percentage of the sale AND they had the university news paper show up to cover their toy purchasing event - and finally, they got on TV because when they brought the toys to the drop point it was at our TV News station. This event was amazing - toys were collected but it was fun on so many levels - earning the cash, spending the cash, and being in news papers and on TV - all to make sure that kids who normally wouldn't receive a present would have one!
