Scratch Card Fundraiser for Katrina Victims

by Mike

My school club ran a scratch card fundraiser for the Hurrican Katrina victims. There were several prizes available and the event was a fun ball with good music and food. I think the ball was what really generated excitement, because it was a chance to hang out with other students in a non-academic setting. The scratch cards just added to the fun.

We did this for a few semesters and played around with raffle tickets too. Raffle tickets are a lot cheaper and therefore you can sell many times more for cheaper, which some people like. I personally do not like checking a dozen cards for the right number, so I think scratch cards are the way to go.

Most of the prizes were of the nerdy variety, like circuit components, USB flash drives, etc. The club is an Electrical Engineering society, so the prizes were appropriate.

Are you aware that fundraiser cards offer among the largest returns for all fundraiser products? Furthermore, because there are no order forms or products to deliver, scratch card fundraisers are one of the easiest ways to raise money too.
