Just wondering what everyone else does. Our big fundraiser is the kick-0ff classic. The weekend before football practice starts, we rent out a bar (owners are Alumns...doesn't actually cost us anything) and serve food and drink at a set price. We have raffles and sell t-shirts. This weekend, I heard one school raises $15,000/year selling mulch. Here's one that is interesting (but possibly gambling) from someone on the DW forum:
We have those darn sweepstakes tickets for NFL games. If you don't know, I'll explain it -
You're sold a ticket for 10 bucks. The ticket has 10 weeks worth of prizes. Each week, you're given 3 NFL teams, at random. If the combined total of all 3 teams score is the highest, you win - but there are more ways to win as well. The ticket pays out - weekly -
Highest
2nd Highest
3rd Highest
4th Highest
5th Highest
6th Highest
3rd Lowest
2nd Lowest
and Lowest Point total - every week!
Now that I know the inside scoop, it might LOOK like you're a guaranteed winner, but it's really a 10:2500 ratio, winners to possible ticket cmobinations in a week. It sells like HOTCAKES, and we bring in about 12G's from it.

Dunno if that link will give you a ton of info, but give it a try.
Now, I'll be able to find out more tonight at our league meeting, but if you want to, go to our website, and e-mail the fundraising coordinator. She has all of the answers.
