I went to elementary and middle school at a private school. They had the coolest fundraising project that raised upwards of $50,000. Every February, the school would host a “redono” auction. This auction would have goods donated from people in the community and parents of the students. There would be gift baskets, trips, gift certificates, and even cars. The auction would bring in around $50-60,000 dollars every year. The auction would take a year to plan and you would have a chairman with board members. In the end, for a school with only 20 students per class, I think it’s a great fundraiser! If you put in the effort and the publicity, you will receive the benefits. That is so much money for a small school. Imagine what a large school such as UCM could do.
