Fundraising is a vital part of any club's ability to stay active in service projects as well as being able to cover costs for members to attend conventions and other leadership opportunities. Fundraising for large organizations like these below are often easier than a local charity or group. Next time your club is considering a fundraising event, consider the following options along with your local establishments:

Butter Braid:
Butter Braids are frozen pastries that have been used in school fundraising for years. These products are delicious, widely available, and yield a 60% profit for the club. Make sure you check out this yummy option!

Toys for Tots:
This organization, run by the United States Marine Corps, is an extremely generous one, as it gives thousands of toys to children in poverty-ridden areas of America. To donate, you must first organize the drive in your school. As stated above, the best times to collect donations are when students are excited and enthusiastic. Since Toys for Tots needs most donations during the holidays, attempt a competition between classes or homerooms for the most toys collected. When everything is combined from your school, find a collection center and you're set!

Riley Children's Foundation:
Riley Children's Hospital, located in Indianapolis, IN, is a branch of the IU Health system and benefits children across the country with its excellent care and generous benefits to families. The Riley Children's Foundation is a major benefactor of the hospital and it is run on donations from groups all over Indiana. For Riley, you can do any fundraiser from a simple dance marathon with donations per hour, to a bike race in your community.

Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF:
Key Club is a national partner of the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign. This fundraising event organized by the United Nations Children's Fund collects money for children in need across the globe, bringing a new meaning to Halloween.
