Doing some research...Probably the most popular class reunion fund-raiser is the sale of admission tickets. In fact, keeping the ticket prices low to encourage participation.
How about holding a Bake sale or selling dinners?? I know the dinner idea can be easier said then done. But we all know ppl love to eat. Who can anyone refuse a good meal.
Selling souvenirs is a great way to raise money and provide keepsakes to classmates. Sell souvenirs personalized with the date of your reunion and your reunion logo (are any classmates graphic designers?). Purchase personalized Koozies, magnets, pencils and cups from companies such as PromoDirect and then resell them at a higher price to make money for your class reunion. Or ask everyone what kind of souvenirs they would like to take home in a bag.
The ultimate keepsake souvenir from a class reunion is a memory book, which is a professionally printed booklet that contains both candid and posed photos from the reunion as well as information about classmates' lives since graduation, including a directory of contact information.
You can hire a company that will do everything from sending a professional photographer to your class reunion to printing the memory book for you. (Just Google "reunion memory books" and you'll find several.) Or, if a classmate or a friend works in the publishing field, you can create your own.
You can earn money to pay class reunion bills by selling the memory books for a little more than they cost to produce. Don't forget to include in the price of your memory book the cost of postage and envelopes to send out the completed books. You can make a little extra money from your memory book by selling business-card advertisements, which you'll print in the book, to classmates or businesses.
These are a few tips Ive found that sounds interesting..We all love to share memories with family and friends.
