"Snack Shack" Fundraiser Sales Ideas??

I wonder if Caramel Apples would be good for this?

Beer! Jello Shots!

Don't laugh. I found those at the local Catholic Church Fall Festival.

Gotta cater to the 18-under crowd, but thanks for the post-season parent party ideas!

Down south we fry everything, heck the state fair offers fried coke! Fried oreos and snickers are pretty good. This would involve hot oil and teens? Maybe not a good idea after all.

How about Easy Mac and Cheese? Or maybe a healthy alternative not offered in the regular cafeteria?

.

Healthy alternatives?

Rice cakes baby!

Drenched and drizzled with scrumptious fresh air.

A burst of flavor much akin to packing peanuts...



...sure to be a hit at the Snack Shack!



Dude...what was that? It tasted like Pop Rocks© without any flavor...or pop. Is that healthy?


.

Sweet tea. McDonald's sells a big cup for $1.00, with about 10 cents of materials. Make it sweet enough for a spoon to stand up straight on its own. Do not offer unsweetened tea, which is a slap in the face of civilization as we know it.

Fried Snickers......mmmmmmmmm. droooll... A delicious heart attack on a stick.


Ice cream novelties.
Can you get someone to donate a slushie machine for the month? Syrup and ice are dirt cheap, and everyone loves slushies.
I've worked in snack bars, and sweet stuff goes over well. Not chocolatey, though. starburst, sour-patch, things like that.

Twizzlers.


LHPMom

chili cheese fries

chocolate dipped strawberries

frozen chocolate dipped bananas

freshly popped microwave popcorn

LEMON SHAKE-UP

1/2 lemon
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
1 c. crushed ice

Thoroughly juice the lemon half and cut into quarters. Put both fruit and juice into a 16 ounce disposable glass. Add the sugar, water, and crushed ice. Stir drink by pouring back and forth between two glasses several times. Add very cold water to fill glass, then enjoy.

Now I'm hungry!

corndogs (can be baked)
fruit kabobs
yogurt parfait
bbq chicken sandwich (patty with BBQ sauce)
grilled cheese & tomato soup in a cup (need a plug in griddle)
spaghetti with sauce in a bowl
sub sandwich
pizza slices
bags of gorp

our booster moms made dirt cup's. they sold em for a $1 -$1.50. don't know how they are made. i can only tell you they were chocolate pudding,maybe some graham cracker crunched up, and a gummy worm. in a small plastic cup. big seller,easy too.

Raffle something. If your a non-profit,even if your not, a donation of an older car, weekend at a vacation home, time share, fishing trip, Tickets to sporting events, etc... at $10-$20 will get the parents involved. A rummage sale is another great fund raiser

My son went to Japan last summer and played. Had a great time. Make sure all T's are crossed and I's dotted when it comes to lodging. Our group had some problems at check out.

I don't know if your snack shack is inside or outside, but a friend of mine and I use to own an indoor R/C track and everytime the snack bar would get slow we put a bag of popcorn in the microwave and all our snack sales went up by 30%. Something about the smell of popcorn makes people hungry.

See if a local smoothie shop will donate some large jugs of smoothies. Let them hang a sign. It always sells well at my daughters school.

Hey, Doughnutman. I thought you'd come up with something better than that.





All Krak needs is a contact with a C-130. I remember back in the days of limited distribution, I flew on a military hop with more than a few cases of Coors on board.

One of our LLs sold Krispy Kremes for a fundraiser one year. My kid was able to sell only half his allotment since we ate the rest before he got a chance.

rice crispie treats and brownies

IF08,
Doesn't everybody keep 6+ types of donuts at the house at all times? Selling them for a fundraiser would be redundant.

Dried Squid Rings, anyone?


Thanks for all the great ideas!!!

One non-food idea we have is for all the players to be out there at lunch for a week, in chairs and in a row, and for $10 a donor can temp-color and stiff-gel their hair any way they like - also face-paint (all monitored for appropriateness of course). I was just joking when I mentioned it once after practice, but the guys were all over it.

Good idea Krak. At my sons JH the kids (i think) compete for the craziest hair and most cologne. My son has almost a crown looking 'doo and about 8 gallons of axe on when he leaves. Vanity always sells. Especially with teenagers.

A good game time fund raiser is a 50/50 raffle that can be be sold at the gate, in the stands, or at the concession areas.

We did it for our program and found that if someone knows they have a chance to "win" they are more likely to contribute. The most profitable way is to do pregame sales with the winner announced in the middle of the 4th inning, and then sales begin for another 50/50 after the winner and the winning amount is announced. That new winner is announced after the game. Besides scratching that "gambling itch" everyone has, it keeps the fans at the game and at the concession stands
until the end. Our best turnout was selling 1 ticket for $5 or 3 for $10. The only over head are the tickets. Easy math...50 people buying the 10 dollar package brings in $250 towards the trip and a happy $250 dollar winner in the stands. With 2 raffles a game, Cha-Ching.....minimal effort maximuim gain and a little entertainment for the participants. You can also do a 50/25/25 payout so there are 2 happy winners per drawing.

rz1, we did this last year and announced the winner as my guys were out on D for the 7th inning.....my third baseman, catcher, and the first base coach had chipped in together on the $10 ticket, and this is the result.....


Kidding of course - excellent idea!! I think our school has a large stash of tickets locked up somewhere that we could use for this.

French Bread Pizzas.

What teen doesn't eat pizza?

This is Korea, right Krak? How about a Kimchee(sp?) eating contest? It would at least bring out more people and I would pay to see that. Of course, you would need to rent some porto potties so it may end up costing you money.

You can also try the old reliable guess how many gumballs are in a jar contest. $1.00-$5.00 a guess. Winner gets the gumballs and instant popularity from his classmates.
