[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buy-nothing fundraiser. My favorite. (You can suggest amounts and/or focus on participation--"If each family gave $xxx, we'd cover our fundraising goals for the whole year, but any amount helps, from $5 to $1000. Our goal is 100% participation!"[/quote]

My school does this. We just straight out write the check and add in a bit more.

They also hold a BFD auction which I don't go to because "auction."

Another idea that really took off in our relatively small, tight neighborhood was hosting parties.  A host creates a themed party in his/her home and provides all the supplies, food, drink, entertainment, whatever.  The party can be whatever: For kids, for parents, for parents and kids, your choice.  Folks in the neighborhood then buy tickets for these parties online, and all the money goes to the school.  We went to a wine-tasting party hosted by a real-life sommelier in his home--I think we paid $100 each, and made a new friend. We also went to an IRON CHEF party for something like $100 total where the key ingredient and our assigned course were delivered a week before (super fun--key ingredient was Guinness, as in the beer and we were asked to make a dessert).  My daughter went to a hair-braiding lesson and demo party held by a local dad (yes, a dad! Go dad! for $40) and a skate-boarding party/lesson (held by a local skate-like-a-girl mom).  Classroom teachers also often hold a party after-hours, things like popcorn and a movie in the school library.
