Give me 60 minutes and your team, club, classroom, school, or organization will be astounded by how much money can be raised with a strong plan and some advance planning. If you are well-prepared, each volunteer might profit more than $150 throughout this 60-minute. Some organizations even managed to surpass their prior fundraising results in just one hour.

This will not only help your organization, but it will also provide the kids a chance to take part in a fundraiser that is specifically for their benefit. They will gain valuable life lessons including goal-setting, teamwork, decision-making, interpersonal skills, and problem-solving.

Schools, graduation classes, several sports teams or associations, numerous churches, and youth organizations are just a few of the organizations that have found success with this fundraising method.
