| Balloon-O-Grams
Basically, a balloon-o-gram is a telegram with balloons. This youth
group ran this fundraiser for many months so that it included many holidays
(Mothers Day, Fathers Day, etc.). Anyone could order a balloon-o-gram
at anytime. The deliverer would take a bunch of five to six balloons,
a card and sing a song for the receiver. The cost for the balloon-o-gram
was on a donation basis.
A telegram with
balloons. A message with each balloon, or you could even have a color
code: Red is love, Blue is Get Well Soon, Yellow is Friendship, Green
… well, I think of M&Ms, but maybe something calmer like Thinking
of You or Just Saying Hello. Make up your own. Run this fundraiser for
a while, including holidays. From February to Memorial Day would give
you Valentine's Day, Easter, and Mothers Day, as well as birthdays.
You need a delivery person who knows the area. A real estate agent is
great! The driver takes a bunch of balloons, a greeting card, and maybe
sings a happy song.
Variation: Lollipop
Bouquets containing five lollipops: Charms, Tootsie Pops, Valentine
Suckers, etc. Tissue paper is used to make the lollipops look like flowers.
They are held together with a rubber band and a gift tag is attached.
Sell these bouquets by pre-order in the morning and during the lunches.
They are purchased as gifts and are delivered on Valentine's Day. Great
for school groups.
