Fundraising is crucial for any school club and organization. Since it seems like the autumn days are lingering for a little too long, a fun and interactive fundraising activity could be the classic car wash. Here are some steps to get this running smoothly:
1. Decide logistics for the car wash
Think about the date (preferably the weekend), time, place, how to sell the car wash tickets, price of car wash tickets, and where to sell car wash tickets.
2. Promote your fundraiser!
This can be done through fun and colorful posters posted around your school and the community, posts on social media, and word of mouth.
3. Do not forget the supplies
You will need soap, buckets, rags or sponges, and access to a water.
4. Set rules and guidelines for the car wash
What do you think your chapter officers and members need to know to have this fundraiser run smoothly and appropriately? You can explain these rules through a meeting or simply hand out a sheet with the rules and a signature line at the bottom to show they understand the guidelines.
We hope that if you decide to do a car wash it raises money for your chapter and is a fun way for your students to work together and raise money. Have fun, be safe, and don’t forget to take lots of pictures!
