My daughter Destiny is having a fund raiser for school and it is panacake mix. Its really cheap but we don't have much family to buy from her. She has her Aunt Anne who did (TY TY TY TY) and maybe dookie(my mom). But there is no one else who can buy from her we don't have much family we talk to or even friends kinda isolated ourselves from everyone. Any ideas or help would be so greatly appreciated!

Do you have any close neighbors? Pancake mix is a different idea for a fundraiser. We had some kids near us selling pies not too long ago.

Not sure what to tell you. You could go door to door WITH her -- we tried that with scout popcorn sales but then again we barely sold any that way.

What about a church ladies' guild that might like baking? Maybe you could call around and see if anyone is interested.

When I had these things in school, I simply went cold calling knocking on doors. Just like the Fuller Brush man.

is it something you have to order or do you already have the mix in hand? If you already have it you could always go set up a little stand in front of a grocery store or someplace busy like that and sell it. Of course you'd have to make sure its cool with the store. We have people do this all the time when they are selling girl scout cookies.

do you have a website that you could post and everyone could order off of that and the school gets credit. I know we do with my kids.
Dana W. Jan 14, 2009, 12:05am EST
not for this one all they have is a paper that shoes what they are buying and on the other side an order forum. it kinda bites

I usually just abandon these fundraisers. I'd rather volunteer my time helping hand stuff out when they in.
