4.0 out of 5 stars Great Ideas - Good Resource, May 9, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Fundraising Ideas for Youth Groups (Paperback)
This book had wonderful ideas for youth groups interested in fundraising. Although it is geared (in language and ethic) toward church groups, I adapted the text to use the ideas with inner-city kids. Some of the suggestions are a little far-fetched, such as the Pink Flamingo heist (where you send a letter to everyone in the neighborhood announcing that a pink flamingo (yes, the plastic kind!) will arrive on their lawn and they have a day to get rid of it and pass it on to someone else. They can avoid this by purchasing "Pink Flamingo Insurance" which will "protect" them from the gag, hence the fundraising aspect...). That wouldn't go over too well in most communities! It's worth checking this book out - it's very creative, at the least. Something for everyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useless, June 13, 2000
This review is from: Great Fundraising Ideas for Youth Groups (Paperback)
This book is geared narrowly towards Church groups. I bought this book on Amazon, and I never knew that it was for Churches until I received the book. I figured there might be ideas in the book that could work for my organization as well. You'd think there would be, but there wasn't. Even if my organization WAS a church group, there are few feasible fundraising options in this book. It is unrealistic as far as fundraising goes.
