Bake Sales

The start of school signals the beginning of fall fundraising. My daughter has only been back in school since the 18th of August and she's already involved with two fundraisers. One is selling Coca-Cola products to collect money to help support her school chorus. The other fundraiser is to sell nuts and chocolates to help support her Girl Scout troop.

If your group needs to raise some money without having to use an outside vendor, do it the old fashioned way. Have a Bake Sale. They can be great moneymakers because there is little or no actual capital required. Everything is donated. This article contains several hints, tips and recipes to run a successful bake sale.
