When I was chosen to head up the committee for my daughters school fundraiser, I had lots of ideas. The only problem with most of my ideas was that I would need lots of volunteers to make them work and volunteers are hard to come by.

I then ran some of my ideas by our current PTO president and she loved the one about the kids making a donation of any amount and being able to design funny t shirts in class. I knew that I could get the local stores to donate all of the t shirts and one of the art stores told us that they would give us all the fabric paint that we would need. I was excited to announce it to the students the following day.

The PTO president and I each designed funny t shirts that night and wore them when we were in front of the kids to announce the fundraiser. We had taken pictures of ourselves while we were designing the funny shirts and I think that the kids really got a kick out of them.

We raised over seven thousand dollars with that fundraiser and it is planned for next year too. The best part of the fundraiser was that we also planned a funny t shirts day for them to wear their shirts, they loved it and wore their t shirts proudly.
