Parent Teacher Associations often focus on fundraising, to benefit their children and the schools themselves. If you need some fresh PTA fundraising ideas, look no further. Rubber duck fundraisers are always popular, and a new twist on the old raffle idea. With a rubber duck race, you use a local creek or waterway to “race” your rubber ducks. Because people have to pay to adopt a duck, this is a great PTA fundraising idea that is sure to be a hit with the community.

If you are gearing your efforts towards an older audience, consider a gold fundraiser where individuals can sell unwanted jewelry to profit your group. Another fun yet different idea for PTA fundraising would be to host a chair-ity auction. This is where you have everyone decorate a chair (it does not matter the type, be it rocking chair or garage stool) before auctioning off the ornamented chairs to the masses. Next time you need to have a fundraising event, spice things up and try something new.
