One of our top fundraising events is our suppers. We have three suppers: chili pie, potato bar, and walking taco. We have one per sport season, and our members volunteer to bring the ingredients. The food is brought in and Mrs. Anstey's foods class helps set it up for the night. The members also sign up for a time to help work the food stand and take money. Each supper makes about $500 or more, with 100% profit. We think that is pretty impressive for our size of community! Check the Activities Calendar for the next supper!
MORE ON FUNDRAISING
Griswold FCCLA chapter also hosts quilt raffles every year. Mrs. Anstey's fabrics classes sew up cute quilts with school spirit to flaunt around at home ball games. Two quilts are made each school year: one in the fall and one in the winter. During football games, members will wear the quilt around to show to fans and sell as many raffle tickets as possible. At one of the last home football games of the season, one lucky ticket will be drawn from the hundreds we collect. Who ever the lucky winner is gets the warm quilt! The same process is repeated in the winter, exept for baskteball games. Quilt raffles are a fun and easy fundraiser that the whole chapter enjoys.
One of the chapter's biggest fundraisers is middle school dances. FCCLA is the only organization at Griswold to hold middle school dances. Middle schoolers constantly request them, and we simply cannot refuse such a fundraising opportunity. A single middle school dance can raise up to $400! It is extremely easy to sell candy, pop, and glowsticks to a bunch of energtic middle schoolers. All the chapter has to do to prep for the dances is set up the dancing area, buy supplies, get high school voluntees to DJ and chaperone, and clean up at the end. We hold at least 5 dances every year. Talk about $$$!
