Prom Fundraising Ideas
"Raising Money to Cover Prom Expenses"
One of the most exciting times in the life of a high school student revolves around their Prom. Let me give you some advice. While some people go get an extra job to pay for the expense of formal prom gowns and dresses there are other alternatives. Expenses can get out of hand so you need to have a feel for what you are willing to spend, what the most important items you want to buy are and who is going to pay for what.
It is not unheard of for a couple attending a high school prom to spend $1,000 or more. In fact it is not terribly uncommon for expenses to exceed that. For many people money is no problem. But for the average student, spending a $1,000 for one night is inconceivable.
You will have certain fixed costs like the cost of the tickets. The real costs, though, are in the formal wear, flowers, transportation and other prom related items. Those discretionary items are what will determine your ultimate cost.
While we certainly advocate having a sense of reason when coming up with a prom budget we also know it is a night that you will remember forever and should not be compromised if possible. So what do you do?
What are my prom fundraising options?
We suggest you consider holding prom fundraisers. Most students and schools are familiar with prom fundraising ideas that are held by the school to offset the price of tickets but few people consider holding a fundraiser to raise money for their personal expenses.
Our website is designed to give you all the information you need to have the best prom night possible. We have decided to add a fundraising section to help people with all of their fundraising needs. Below you will find links to some of the major fundraising programs available from our partners at Easy Fundraising Ideas. Their website is the most complete you can find and will provide fundraiser ideas for both individuals and schools needing to raise money for proms.
