The fundraising activity for this month is the ULTIMATE Duct Tape Fundraiser. Haven’t heard of the ULTIMATE Duct Tape Fundraiser? It may just be one of the most unique, but definitely one of the most memorable fundraisers out there. It is simply duct-taping an administrator, faculty member, or principal to a wall with different duct tape strips and the chapter charges $1 per tape strip. This one may take a little more convincing, planning, and care than the others, but we promise you it is well worth it. Make sure to do some research online and find out if this fundraiser is acceptable for your chapter first, before you get the ball rolling. Here is how to get it started.
1. Supplies!
You will need lots of duct tape, try getting some in different colors for a little extra icing on the cake. Also, scissors, a stool for your faculty member to sit/stand on, and this is not considered a supply, but tons of volunteers for safety and organizational purposes.
2. Duct Tape Volunteer
It is important to pick someone that the student body will know. This will encourage more students and teachers to participate in the fundraiser. Make sure the volunteer is aware of their full involvement in the fundraiser and allow them time to mark down the date so they can make sure they are free that day or if they need to rearrange their schedule.
3. Details
This is our last fundraising activity article for this year so you know the important details by now, but if not find out when, where, how to promote, and make sure to ask the administration for permission first. Set important safety guidelines for volunteers and students as well. Lastly, make sure to have adult supervisors watch over the fundraiser to make sure it is safe for the students and volunteers.
4. Promote, Promote, Promote!
Make fun flyers and funny promo videos to promote the fundraiser! It is definitely a memorable experience so make sure to catch every memory that you can!
Good luck if this is the next fundraiser you choose! We hope you have fun and create some awesome memories. We hope to see you at the State Leadership Conference!
