Fund–raising Ideas
Advanced
Program: Scholastic Book Fair
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.
