Fundraiser Ideas
There are many unique and interesting fundraisers used throughout the community. We have selected a few of our favorites to get your creative thoughts started about potential fundraisers for your program.
Friends of the Sinking Spring Public Library
From their newsletter:
“Our next fundraiser will be our Mother’s Day flower sale, with orders needing to be placed by April 5. Further information on this will be available in March at the Library. We will also be having our traditional bake sale at the Sinking Spring Fire Company poll site and from the number of members offering to bake, the selection will be spectacular!
Miss out on Valentine’s Day? Currently in the Library we are having our Valentine’s Day candy guessing contest. Hurry and stop in and enter by the end of February to win a basket of sweet stuff.
Need some green? In March we will have a free raffle of a “Luck of the Irish” basket full of green or Irish goodies. Visit the Library and enter your family by the end of the month.”

"What's Hot Fundraisers"
From their web site:
“During an executive board brainstorming session, [the] former president, said that the Friends' new fundraising activities had to be 'hot' and different. ' What's Hot?' became a reality as the planning committee saw the potential by adding different subheadings and including a variety of activities.
'What's Hot?' themes are flexible and fun. A Fall Cabaret was based around the 1920's time period. Line dancing, audience participation, and great raffle items were the mix that made the Cabaret a success.
An Evening of Mystery, the second in the series, also included audience participation, a raffle, live music, and a great meal. The new twist was a fashion show, and the audience participating in solving a mystery - "Who killed King Henry?" Sufficient funds were raised to continue the previously started extracurricular library projects.”
"Small Change Club"
A Library Fundraiser for Kids The "Small Change Club" offers young library users the opportunity to help their community build a bigger, better library for the City of Orange.
