On Site Fundraisers
This type of fundraiser is advantageous on the day of Relay for Life.
Some ideas that you can incorporate into your Relay for Life Event include:
-
Raffle an autograph football/basketball of the top sports teams at your school or in the area
-
Silent Auction with themed baskets and prizes
-
Jail and Bail: pay to arrest someone and they pay or wait the amount of time to get out of jail
-
Sell individual flowers to be placed near the Luminaria
-
Selling army tags in honor or in memory of those living with cancer
-
Selling food or drinks
-
Caricatures
-
Ask Relayers to donate 5 dollars to have a dedication and special song played for the person they are walking for
-
Onsite hair salon: The hair stylists donate all of their time and set up a salon at the team
campsite right near the track. Charge a minimum donation of $10. Braiding hair can also
be offered. -
Jewelry Sale: Make homemade necklaces and bracelets to sell to family and friends.
Think outside the box: Use this opportunity to increase cancer awareness and support by
using charms or colors. Example: add a pink ribbon charm for breast cancer or purple for
Relay For Life. -
Sporting Tournaments: If facilities allow the space, set up and run a tournament of
some kind with a small entrance fee to participate. Games like wiffleball, basketball,
and tennis work well in this situation.
