    Some things to consider:

    * When planning a fundraiser the most important question you need to answer is: How much money do you need to raise?

    * How many people do you have that can help carry out the fundraiser?

Does your group need: *new uniforms? * money for a summer camp? * specialized enrichment classes? *to attend competitions? Let them know the goal that your group is working toward. All your communications should specifically state how much money you are trying to raise.

    After the fundraiser has taken off and you have reached your goal, let the contributors know and thank them for their participation. This goodwill message will leave a positive image of your organization, and encourage them to support your next fundraiser.
