Everyone does bake sales or car washes. Any other ideas to pass along to our group that your unit had success with?

Sir,
Do a raffle for baskets, ask your troops to donate the baskets in different types.

We got some mileage out of this at my last unit. You can't go to the well too often, though. The first one or two will do ok, after that the donations tend to dry up - unless you're more creative than we were.

Auction off services. I had an IT auctioned off to help some spouse with viruses on her computer, I had for shipmates auctioned off to wash someones car in their home base housing, I had the Red Cross give me a free certified babysitter on base, I auctioned my master chief who taught this guy how to whittle, I auctioned a senior chief who taught a group of sailors (who purchased him) how to cheat on Call of Duty Black Ops, and I auctioned off dinner at the CO's house his family, your family. We didn't just pick one winner on the auction, we selected the three highest bidders and they scheduled time. We made $670.00 the first time and the second time with the addition of some mechanics we made $1700.00 Navy ball committee

Sell or donate your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, iPad and more for cash, or buy used iPhones, iPads and other devices. Give back, get paid, and do good!

Sir, how about your PO's, i.e. VFW, Legion, they have a lot more latitude when it comes to fundraising.

Never thought of involving them and we have them around here. Great idea to bring them in the fund raising events.

Community yard sales where members collect & sell items and all donations go to the FRG.
5K fun walk - charge a registration fee that includes a t-shirt & combine with a raffle & refreshments.
Not sure if you have any Dunkin Donut franchises down your way but they are usually VERY generous with donating donuts and coffee. We did a scouting FR and they donated 12 dozen donuts and 4 Boxes of Joe - coffee which we sold at 100% profit.
Discount coupon books for local businesses & franchises.

On the D&D CPT Jacob Swartout, ask the manager for the franchise owner, if the manager cannot make the call on the donation. Up here we have one company that owns most of the franchises in RI and I deal with the corporate PR person.
