With "fund raisers" using kids (I've raised money for H.S. Bands) the "ticket" has to be $10 to $20.

Plus...2 or 3 kids wind up doing most of the "selling" and...they have a tendency to "misplace orders" so record-keeping is a nightmare.

My "Town on a CD" concept has a HIGH Perceived Value....$500 to $1000 per year per participant.

Kids don't have the "stuff" to sell these numbers to business people.

My experience.

Thanks for asking.....Don Alm
