Easy Fundraising Idea: Grocery Raffle

This idea comes from the Nepean Hotspurs in Ottawa, Canada. This girls soccer team raised $1200 by raffling off a gift certificate for a local grocery store...at the grocery store itself.
This creative idea worked for a number of reasons:

• The girls worked together in shifts 
• They were in a high traffic area (think of how many people go through a grocery store on the weekend)
• Everyone can use a gift certificate for groceries 
• Customers had just made a buying decision and were already in the right mindset  

The only cost involved was the purchase of the gift certificate. The grocery store had no problem giving the team space to set up a table.
