Fundraising ideas from Ohio

1. Rubber ducky race sell numbered plastic ducks or toy boats that are dumped up stream, the buyer of duck that gets to the down town bridge (or other landmark) first wins the pot or a prize. It works best if joined to another community event where a crowd gathers 2. Dodge Ball Tournament 3. Dance Marathon 4. Car Show 5. Root Beer Floats concession at a super-market When you establish a new fund raising project try to make it something that can continue after The Eliminate Project. That way you will have additional funds for other community projects.
