We are going to throw a fundraiser each month that will either combine with the fun-loving community event or be separate from the event. The two interns will collaborate and plan the fundraisers, under supervision of the executive director and volunteer manager. We want the interns to take creative license with these fundraisers, but 12 ideas could include: 

​

- A variety show for high school students to showcase their talents

- An Art Show for high school students to display their work and sell it
- A concert with a local band

- Happy Monday's: Corporation's donate so they can have a dress down day on Monday

- "Tie Dye Party: Tie-dye and sell T-shirts that promote your cause, host a get-together with materials for people to make their own tie-dye shirts and charge an entrance fee, or offer to tie-dye personal items for a donation."

- "Channel Your Inner Master Chef: A nod to cooking reality TV, try rounding up supporters and foodies around a friendly culinary competition. Contestants create their best dishes with a specific ingredient, or other criteria, and people pay to taste and cast their votes."

- "Film Fundraising: Host a film festival and have participants enter their own unique productions. You can even turn it into a contest, where attendees can give $5 in order to cast votes for their favorite films."

- "Roller Race: How about switching up the usual 5K run/walk with a roller-skating marathon? In addition to fundraising for entry, participants can raise money for proper gear like helmets and knee-pads."

- Karaoke Night/ Lip Sync Competition

- Multicultural Food Cook Off

- Holiday Candy Grams

-Carnival
