One of the best feelings in the world is walking into a house with the smell of fresh cookies out of the oven in the air. It’s almost impossible to resist, and lends itself to a great fundraising idea, bake sales!
Bake sales are a great way to not only raise money but to also get members involved in your chapter and to employ business skills that you have learned when selling those baked goods. Members from your local chapter can each bring in baked goods and combined you have a large assortment of products to sell!
You can set up your sale within your school or at various community events, and have local chapter members volunteer. Selling these baked goods will serve as an excellent free enterprise lesson for your members, and will allow you to learn skills that are required to run a business in a smaller fashion.
Overall, a bake sale can serve as a way to get members involved, raise a significant amount of money, teach lessons that are unable to be found in a traditional classroom setting, and have fun!
