It can be to raise funds for the uniforms of the members of the school band or to buy additional sports equipments. They also do it for the construction of certain structures like a waiting shed in front of the school or the funds raised will be to assist somebody. The reasons for fundraising are endless and the list of ways of doing it can also be long. Raffle tickets can be printed and sold at an affordable price with solicited prizes given out. Another one is a carwash where volunteers wash cars and the service fee for doing it is added in the funds.
