Even if you’re not a mathematician, you’re probably familiar with Pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, or 3.14159. Whether you love Pi or pie, you can celebrate Pi Day with a bake sale fundraiser that gives you an opportunity to get super creative. Just think about all of the whoopie pies, hand pies, apple pies, and pecan pie cookies you can delight your school community with while raising money!
Make the most of National Let’s Laugh Day by bringing your school community together for a Comedy Night fundraiser. This type of ticketed event can be held at a local comedy venue, event hall, or school auditorium. If you’re putting together the line-up yourself, be sure to reach out to your supporters and people in the local comedy scene for suggestions of comedians. You just might find there’s lots of talent right in your community.
World Piano Day is the perfect time to hold a concert fundraiser. Bring together members of your school’s musical arts program to put on an evening of entertainment for your entire community. Maximize your fundraising efforts by adding concessions, a silent auction, or raffle to your ticketed event.
