Using Printed Materials to Maximize Fundraising Income for Schools

Out of 500 printed calendars, the band sold most at $5 each and gave copies to those buying ads. It sold 10 $25 ads on most of the inside pages, as well as a total of almost 1,000 birthday, anniversary and “in memory” listings. Since the calendar cost $1,200, it netted the band more than $3,000 in profit while generating much excitement and involvement in the school and community.
