My daughter’s competitive team had a Chili Dinner. They got the local Steak N Shake to donate all the Chili (thus costing them nothing) and a local grocery store to donate liters of soda. Additionally, each coach and parents of the girls made up baskets of different things for a silent auction. Worked great and raised a lot of $ $ $ . The key is getting things donated (i.e., one local hotel donated a night’s stay in the jacuzzi suite! and one of the parent’s put it in a Mommy & Daddy night out basket – complete with babysitting coupon, etc).
