2008-2009 Fundraising ideas from Team RUSH:
LEGO Camps (we sponsored four LEGO camps this summer and a girls engineering camp)
Returnable Can Drive (be sure to ask for the returnables ... we have had people donate canned food)
Flower Bulb Sales - Van Bourgondien
Little Caesars Pizza sales
Parent's Night Out (a night for the parents.) This was a glorified babysitting. We had the robot on demo, had an open gym, movie rooms, craft rooms and fun everywhere)!
Pig Contest (an annual favorite ... to decorate a pig and then find out who is the BIG PIG - the one with the heaviest pig and the most cash ... of course, there is also the LEAN PIG as well - the lightest pig with the most money). Pound for pound, it is a fun activity!
RUSH Regatta - This was an engineering competition within the team. Each group of two people got a list of people they could call to sponsor their group and Team RUSH. Then, each team built a boat out of cardboard, duct tape and one part sealants. Then, the team raced their boats.
