| Fundraising Ideas for Michigan Envirothon Teams |
|
The ideas listed below are those that some teams have used in
the past, or ideas that have been passed along to the Michigan Envirothon office
from various sources. Many teams have used various fundraisers in the past and
have been very successful. Money raised could be used towards the team registration
fee, Community Outreach Project expenses (brochures, equipment, etc.), room
& board fees, travel costs, etc. These ideas are ones that your teams will
need to investigate and set up on their own. Please note that Michigan Envirothon
does not necessarily endorse any of the fundraising programs, and has not researched
them (for validity, success rate, etc.) to any extent.
