What Others Are Doing – Fundraisers in the News – Nov 21, 09
News - Apple Gold Group, the Applebee’s franchisee in NC, AR and OK will host your Flapjack Fundraiser. They will provide the food and cooks, you provide the guests, servers & bussers. Events may be scheduled on Saturday or Sunday mornings. AGG will charge your organization for food at their cost, you keep the rest of the ticket price. See Apple Gold Group’s website for details.
Views- AGG’s cost appears to be less than 1/3 of the average ticket price. This is becoming a popular program, so open weekends may fill up fast.
News - Wild game dinners are catching on at several churches, mostly in the southern U.S. Area residents flock to the events. Many of the older residents say it reminds them of the kinds of meat they ate growing up. Prices vary from $8 to $15 and include home-made side dishes. Among the meats offered are bear, alligator, chicken, elk, deer, antelope, pheasant, turkey, wild hog, duck, goose, possum and racoon.
News - Carver High School (NC) recently held a LUV the Band event. The school’s marching band put on a special show and was joined by the High Point Central High School marching band, as well as the Boss Drummers, a drum group from the Winston Lake YMCA. The groups took turns playing and presented ensembles and skits that aren’t part of a formal marching band competition. They hope to expand the fundraiser next year with more bands and other musical groups.
Views- How about a cooperative agreement where multiple schools will take part in each other’s fundraisers? Other forms of entertainment could be used while the bands are moving on/off the field; singing groups, performers, specialty acts.
