• Many states now have casino gambling. As a rule these casinos will reserve a large bus for you to fill with adults that want to come to their casino.
• There is usually no charge for the bus as long as you can fill it, (about 40 people).
• You can charge about $20 per person.
• The casino will give them $20 dollars worth of freebies when they get there, so the cost for them is really nothing.
• Your team will make the profit of $800 per bus.
• One team raised over $35,000 last year.  Call the casino and tell them you are a non-profit organization.
• Shop around, some of the casinos offer better deals than others.

• If you have pro or college teams in your area most of them are
  looking for help at the concession stand. 
• They will pay you an hourly wage for every Volunteer that you bring.
• The average work night is 5 hour by the time you set up and clean up.
• The average pay is about $6 per hour. 
• We were usually able to get about 30 volunteers a night and raised an average of about $900 per night.

• We are all probably familiar with Bingo- if not call your local bingo hall and they will help you.

• We were able to buy small travel first aid kits the kind that are perfect for the house, car, boat or motor home. 
• We paid about $3.50 a piece and charged $8.50 . 
• Many of our girls pre-sold well over 100 units, with one girl selling 450 this alone could raise enough money to send each girl to Hawaii.

• Everyone has to buy groceries, we were able to get a coupon that sold in $25 increments from the local store. 
• They are like a gift certificate. 
• The grocery store pays
  you 5% on all you sell.
• Think how much money that is if just your teams families use them to
  shop all year.
• Expand the idea to grandparents and other family, neighbors etc.

• Just sit through a taping and get paid for your time.
• For example: Attending the taping of STARK RAVING MAD
  (Starring Neil Patrick Harris from Doogie Howser and Tony Shalhoub from Wings) and get paid $ 10.00 for each person who attends.
• If you have 30 people, you will make $ 300.00.
• There are minimum age limits on all shows, and the less popular the show, the more money you make. 
• The pay ranges from $6 - $14 per person, depending on the age of those attending and the popularity of the show. 
• If you attended Stark Raving Mad, you would need to be checked in before 6:00 pm (5:45 to find parking and make it to the check in point) and the show itself will begin at 7:00 pm. 
• You will be out around 10:30 pm.
• That's it!  You laugh and watch a show and go home to wait for the check.

• The cards are already made for you for your city.
• You sell them at $10.00 and make $5.00 on each card.

• Buy 1 Domino's Pizza, get 1 free - and you make your money back immediately. Very easy.
• If you buy 500 or more cards, they will even make them in your team colors and name.
• But you can buy as little as 50.

• You will find in your community Christmas tree wholesalers.
• Buy 100-150 trees at a time (they will usually deliver more as you need them)
• The rule of thumb is to mark them up 100%. Procure a lot on a fairly good traffic site (I was always able to talk someone into donating the lot at no cost for youth sports)
• Ask you team insurance to add this place to your insurance. 
• Have a travel trailer for an office and place to stay warm during slow periods. 
• You will need a generator and some large lights, I was able to borrow these from rental companies.
• A small stereo to play Christmas music is nice.
• Open your business the weekend after thanksgiving or soon they’re after.
• You will need more help on nights and weekends than during weekdays. 
• Make a large sign advertising your trees and letting people know that the proceeds go to youth sports.( WE were able to do the same thing with fire works on the fourth of July)
