One of the best fundraising methods for 2020 is via brochure popcorn sales.  All you need to do is simply to distribute brochures to your customers/supporters.  They will then select what flavors, and how much popcorn they would like to order, and mail the brochure back to your fundraising partner company.  That company will then process the orders, mail out the popcorn, and give you your % of the revenue.  A great company to partner with is www.fundraisingzone.com

Sleepover at the school: Part of the fun of being a student is getting to experience school outside of regular school times”, so why not have a fundraiser that allows kids to stay overnight?
