Choir FundraisingChoir FundraisersIt's a symphony of fund razing ideas! Ok, we know what you're thinking! Choir fundraisers are always associated with music. We know that members of the choir love to sing, but they're not at all limited to singing fundraising ideas. Sure there are some fantastic fundraising ideas that include singing for charity funds. Take for example our karaoke night: Karaoke fundraiser – Host a karaoke night in your school gymnasium – all you will need for this is to rent a karaoke machine and screen to project the videos or you may want to hire a karaoke professional who will come and set up the equipment and run the evening like a typical karaoke night at a club. It generally costs about $100 to rent a karaoke machine for the evening without the DJ. Typically a professional renting out his karaoke equipment will have anywhere from 2000 to 5000 songs in his or her karaoke library. Hiring a karaoke DJ along with the machine will cost a lot more, and running it yourself is not that difficult. If you do it without the DJ you will end up making a lot more money for your charity cause. Charge each person $2 admission to the event, and charge an additional $2 per song choice. You might also want to seek sponsorship from a local grocery store or pool parents to donate drinks and snacks for the evening. Squeegee fundraiser – This one is easy to do, and most local fast-food restaurants (Burger King, McDonalds, Coffee Time and etc.) will allow you to set up a squeegee station and ask customers for donations while they wait for their orders. Set it up like so:
Read-a-thon fundraiser – This is a fun, school-oriented fundraiser that doesn't include singing choir members. Ask each member of the choir to collect donations from friends and family members who pledged them for a read-a-thon. Depending on the reading age of your choir members, you could have them sponsored per page or per book (if they are short children's books). There is virtually no overhead for this, as students can host the read-a-thon in the school library and choose books from the shelves. If this is a day long event, you may want to treat the choir and parent volunteers to pizza or subs for taking part in the read-a-thon. Pizza or burger day fundraiser – This can easily be set up with any of the big chain restaurants, for example McDonalds, Pizza Hut or Burger King. Most large chain restaurants offer fundraising benefits, where the restaurant agrees to set a certain part of the day aside, and all, or a portion, of money made from sales during that time period will go towards supporting a children's or school charity event.
