need some suggestions, my daughter will be testing for her red/black belt in December and black belt next June and it’s pretty expensive. For the red/black belt alone it’s $150.00 and the black belt it’s $300.00. This is not counting the 3 new uniforms that she needs to get. Do you all have any suggestions on what I can do to raise some money?

With my mom’s help I will be selling Tamales around November but what else could I do? Do you all think $9 a dozen is too much. Remember my mom’s tamales are not small.

Give me some ideas….Please…..I have talked to a couple of moms and between these two belts they have spend around $800.00+ ?

What can I do next?

Hi L., Hope this will help My step son is in baseball and every year in July he has a tournament out of state this year we went to Kansas (yes all the family goes) I raffel out stuff my family is a party family and they like to drink so what i did is i told my family that i was raffeling 10LB of fajita 10LB of chicken 1 bag of ice 24 pack of beer your choice 24 pack of soda your choice i pack of tortilla 1 bag of charcoal and 1 bottle of liter fluid. so i had 54 numbers (the lotto numbers) and i asked friends and family if they wanted to buy a number i think i was selling them $10.00 a number. so after you sell all the numbers and collect the money you let everybody that baught a number what day you are going to raffel the things it has to be a wednesday or a saturday because the last number that is pulled from the lotto drawing will be the winner of the stuff that was being raffeled. that way everybody that baught a number can see with their own eyes that there was no cheating. oh and the stuff that is being raffeled you buy with the money you collected that way you don't have to spend out of your pocket. and you just keep the rest and use it for the stuff you need to buy your kid.

hope this helps because it does help me alot.

I hope your daughter in involved in helping to sell the tamalies. After all, it's her belts that have to be bought. Christmas is just around the corner and you could offer yourselves to do Saturday baby-sitting for mothers who want to get in some early shopping.

If the tamales are larger than the typical homemade tamale, then $9 is not a bad price. But if they are closer to what people usually expect, maybe $7 would make them easier to sell. There is a place in Baytown that sells really good tamales @ $9/dozen. When they first opened, the tamales were really big. Now that they've established a customer base, the size has reduced. Still maybe bigger than typical, but not as big as at first. Good luck!
