Hi Everyone,
Okay heres my idea, my hubby an I run a business, and for the holidays I'm wanting to give everyone a gift.
My idea is to send everyone for a 5 day vacation to Disney World. Heres the delmia i need to raise at least 5k
with out anyone knowing.
I've thought about doing the farmers market. just i have no idea of what would be a good idea to sell. or if theres anything else i can do.
I really want to surprise everyone including my hubby.
Thank you in advance for the help.
* Sell your no longer needed/wanted household items on Craigslist.
* Sell your no longer wanted clothes to a place like Crossroads (hope you have on in your area).
* Sell other things at consginment stores.
* Sell your no longer wanted jewelry. Sell scrap gold to your LOCAL jeweler if they offer it (you'll have to call around).
* Have a garage sale.
* 5k will probably be hard to raise in the amt of time but worth a try.
Good luck, doing a fund raiser for that kind of money without anyone knowing will be a major feat! One fund raiser we did, was we got a basketball net donated from a local sports store. The net was brought downtown and sold raffle tickets to shoot hoops. Anyone who got one score got an extra raffle ticket. We did this over a weekend or two and earned a few thousand dollars, then we drew the winner, who won the basketball net. But, it was fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. People are more likely participate in something like that from a reputable organization and a good cause.
Other fundraisers would be car washes, or even the door to door cookie dough sales... but I have no idea how you'd be able to earn that much from those without anyone finding out about it.
Try making something and sell it on Craiglist or Etsy. But if you want to sell something you will have to worry about taxes and filing at the end of the year so you might want to think about this first. Raising 5K in about 2 months is going to be hard in my opinion.
lol. If you figure out a magical way to do that, with no particular product or talent to sell, let the rest of us know. If sure we'd all like to have a rockin' Christmas! :)
First, you could do this for well under $5000 considering your location. Drive instead of fly, stay at a hotel just outside of Disney. Most of them are really nice and significantly less expensive than in the park. Eat one meal a day in the park and the other two outside the "gates". Seriously, look into the options.
As for how to raise that kind of money in two months, I'm not sure. You could try running an ad and offering yourself as a "personal assistant". When we were looking for help at home, we interviewed several people from Craig's List and were willing to pay $30/hour to have someone clean the house and run errands for us.
You could also donate your eggs- just kidding, but it would make that volume of cash in the span of a day!
Just get a PT job and tell everyone you're saving for Christmas!
