Fundraisers here on FFN from what I was told by Web Chief, is not allowed. I tried to raise funds for my husband's amputation, and was told no way and to stop asking users on this site.

John,
Terry isn't looking to raise money on here, what Terry is looking for is ideas for his department to do for a fundraiser. There is a big difference.

I am the Fundraiser Coordinator for my volunteer department. My latest event is a Boots & Badges Ball (formal/semi-formal) that is coming up in October. I added it to the events section on this website. Check it out. I also coordiante our Chili cook-offs, spaghetti suppers, car wash's, our haunted house, open houses. I have a pretty full plate. My full time department is military based. So therefore, we can do fundraisers here.

Hello,
we can use the local supermarket restuarant and serve a steak dinner for almost 800 people on sunday
We make about a 50% gain per meal, so that's a promising reward for one day of hard work with 45 volunteers. We also make a calender every years with firefighting pic's that we sell house tot house in the area we protect.
Every other year we have open house in and around the fire station with the help from other emergency services. Last year, when our department was celebrating it's 150 th birtday, we had about 4500 people showing up .
Pictures can be seen on our website : www.brandweergavere.be Look for OPEN DEUR 2007

I was thinking about bringing up the idea of a pizza sale to our Dept. You could make the standard 12" size pizzas , sell them for $5.00 each. heres the key though. you make it so they can buy them already made or they can take them home and put it together. My sister does this every year for a local club and they really rake in the dough...no pun intended... I suppose the money making aspect of this would be to measure our your ingriedents so your not costing yourself money instead of making it . just a idea...good luck

All the ideas listed below are good ones. One of the components of such an event is to advertise it, that's the only way the event is going to succeed. By the way thanks for the ideas. I'm not sure if I can convince the powers that be at my department but you never know until you try.
