Grab Bag

This fundraiser is similar to a What's in the Box Auction and a White Elephant Sale with a couple of important differences. First, a grab bag fundraiser is not an auction. You'll charge a flat fee per item. Supporters will also not be able to see what they're buying. Have volunteers donate inexpensive items. They can be anything from used books to gag items. You can also spend a little money to buy fun things at a dollar store. Place each item in a paper bag and seal all the bags so the items inside are not visible. No feeling or shaking of bags is allowed! Decide what to charge per bag—a few dollars is appropriate. Supporters pay the fee and then choose a bag. They won't know whether they're getting a real treasure like a great cookbook, or a silly item like a rubber ducky. That's part of the fun! Most people will buy more than one bag to try to get to the good stuff. Place some scratch-off lottery tickets

Okay, thanks again. You guys have some really good ideas on this site, and so thanks again. Keep up the good work, you guys have really good ideas and you make it sound so easy in your quick, descriptive explaination.

I think I might combine this idea into a bunch of others to have our own neighbourhood festival. I love the dog ideas, especially the parade, so I think I'll add grab bags for the kids.

Thanks again,
