Fund–raising Ideas
Advanced



Level: Advanced
Materials:

•	Location
•	Volunteers
•	Marketing materials

How To:

•	Contact Scholastic Book Fairs to schedule a date, time of operation, and earning allocation at http://www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/chair/contact/offices.htm
•	Reserve a secure location on campus (the door will need to be locked each time you close).
•	Schedule plenty of volunteers to help run the book fair.
•	Begin advertising the sale—newspaper, local schools, on-campus day care.
•	Gather supplies needed for running the sale: paper, pens, member sign-in sheets, bags for purchased books.
•	Open the doors and sell, sell, sell!

Add a Twist:

•	Use Scholastic’s Web site for sales promotion ideas, http://www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/
•	Add another fund-raiser; sell KDP apparel, t-shirts, or baked goods at the same time.
