Haunted Hayride Fundraiser
All Aboard The Haunted Hayride Fundraiser
Halloween was traditionally a celebration of the harvest, but it has long-since morphed into a holiday celebrated with scary costumes, monsters, and trick-or-treating and haunted houses. However, one thing still rings back to the good old days—the haunted hayride. Ideal for Halloween fundraising, a spook-tacular hayride can be organized with as little as a truck with a flatbed, a few hay bales and some Halloween decorations. You can make it a frightfully-good-time with some added scares along the hayride route, such as a haunted house, snack/refreshment stand, a faux cemetery, pumpkin patch and even a corn maze.

Take A Swing At Car Smash Fundraising
What does charity giving plus a little destruction equal: a smashing fundraising event! That’s right, a car smash is a unique fundraiser that never fails to draw an excitable crowd.

Read on to find out why so many are taking a swing at fundraising with a car smash…
Hot Apple Cider Fundraiser
Hot Apple Cider Fundraiser
Nothing stirs the heart nor warms the soul quite as much as a hot apple cider fundraiser. This time-honored, autumn beverage can warm the cockles of any doubtful fundraising volunteer. Not only is it a comfort beverage that’s hard to resist; it’s also the perfect accompaniment to an open house or bake sale event. Its true, hot apple cider by itself does not a fundraiser make. However, combining an apple cider tasting with an open house or a bake sale can turn your fundraiser into a day-long or weekend event. Just think, a mug of hot apple cider accompanied by other apple themed baked goods, like apple fritters, apple sauce, apple crisp, apple tarts, homemade apple pie and caramel apples will create the sweetest fundraiser ever…
