How can my daughter raise money for her class excursion to japan? -

My daughter is in year 12 at school, and is studying Japanese. Her Japanese class is going to Japan for 2 weeks later this year, and I am looking for ideas to help her raise money to pay at least part of the expenses. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Garage Sale Bake sale Donations from you re church Car Wash

Demand the principal and teacher to explain WHY THE HECK they want you to go to Japan when you can t even afford it!

Ask her teacher to help. This is a school event. The school should get involved.

Car Wash, Maybe the class can have a raffle, (ask local businesses to donate) Fundraiser ,(sell candy bars, maybe candles) Maybe a silent auction (again ask businesses to donate or teachers or students) Have a class yard sale. Good Luck!

I m from America, so I m not sure how old a year 12 student would be, but I m guessing she d be old enough to get a part-time job. That s my idea for you. Also, selling things on eBay is always a great way to make some quick extra cash. Babysitting, cleaning houses for elderly people, walking dogs, after school tutoring...these are all things that would help her raise money for the trip without having to sell something as a fundraiser.

Launch an appeal on EBay? What about raising money for a year in Japan to stay with relations (assuming you have some contactable family there). If you explain in interesting detail what you daughter can see and accomplish in japan with some classy photos I would surprised if no one coughed up some small amount of cash (say $5 the cost of a couple of beers) to finance the trip. Of course you have to set out your bona fides quite well. I would be happy to attest that you are a genuine person and that the favour you are asking is for the benefit of your daughter and not yourself. If you decide to set up a site on Ebay I would promise to pledge $5 or more. If there is any surplus above what you require for the trip I would suggest asking a question on Yahoo answers as to what would be a good cause that could use this money. Then choose Best Answer.

have a garage sale...or sell stuff on Ebay
