Break the Balloon

Pop, pop, pop. What can be more fun that popping a balloon? Winning something for doing so, of course. This is an easy fundraiser and can be incorporated into other events, such as a dinner fundraiser or fair. You will need balloons, a helium tank, string, and slips of paper with prizes printed on them. Go to the local retailers and explain who your group is and what you are raising funds for. Ask if they would like to donate a prize in exchange for free advertising at your event. On the day of the event, place the prize slips into the balloons, fill them with helium, and tie a string to them. All balloons should have a slip of paper, even if it is just a thank you for participating, so they all look the same. You may want the balloons to all be the same color to distinguish them from others at the event. Sell the balloons telling people to hold onto them until a big announcement. After all the balloons have been sold, instruct everyone to pop their balloon and see if they have won. It will be humorous to see the different methods of popping the balloons. Instruct the winners to come up and claim their prize.

Get donated prizes use anything
Put paper with the prizes written in the balloons that way you have more options with prize sizes.

I love that idea,just rang a balloon company who will do it for us for our ball for the childrens hospice and they will bag up the ones with prizes separately to the ones that say sorry you havent one so we can allocate 3/4 prizes per table,and sell them for £5.00 each instead of raffle tickets,thankyou
