How Many in That Jar?

You will need your best guessing skills for this fundraiser. This fundraiser is very simple to run and requires very little equipment. You will need a large jar or clear box and something to fill it with. Pick something like candy covered chocolates, nails, marbles or cards. You will also need index cards or slips of paper with lines marked for name, phone number, and guess. Set the jar in a public spot and have someone selling guess slips for one or two dollars. People are welcome to submit as many guesses as they are willing to pay for. Have a box for placing guess slips into. Run the contest for a week to give everyone a chance to make a guess. After all the guesses have been entered have a small group of people count the items from the jar. Count several times to be sure of the total. Announce the winner and give them a share of the total money raised.
