Looking for more interesting school fundraisers?
A local school has used the Halloween holiday to give themselves a jolt of cash. They created a haunted maze, running for 12 nights and staffed by 1,000 volunteers. With tickets at $15, they’re hoping to raise $100,000 this year for the district’s special projects.
I thought this was an interesting idea, though I don’t think it would work in my environment. Would this kind of event work for your school?
