Clever Senior Center Calendar Fundraiser Nets $15000

by Shellie
(Akron, OH, USA)

Our local senior center raises money every year by selling calendars. They raise the money to pay for special outings for the seniors that reside there. I wanted to get involved and help them raise as much money as possible.

I had the idea to sell their calendars at our local ribs cook-off. In our town this is a major event. People come from all over the U.S. to attend. But getting a booth at the cook-off is costly. I knew a local restaurant owner that has a booth at the cook-off every year and I asked him if he would allow me to sell the calendars for the senior center if I did all of the work. He agreed. It was a huge success! We sold 1,000 calendars at $15 each. So we raised $15000 for the senior center.
