How should our track and field team fund raise money to have an outdoor track built at our school?

Its been 4 years since the track program at our school been developed. In 2004 year there was a promise that we would have an outdoor track built in the next four years. It is now 2009 and still no outdoor track. The cost is around 400,000-600,000 dollars. So i was looking for ideas that would help us raise the money, because that money is no joke. So if you guys could come up with some ideas and suggestions i would really appreciate it!

  1. I have a family member that is the person people call when they need to fund raise for specific projects.

    He makes hoagies. Not everyone knows what a hoagie is, but it is a sub sandwich.

    Food is usually the best thing to sell when raising money, because people like to eat.

    These sandwiches have an amazing turn out.

    In addition, so does pizza, high-quality chocolate, cookies, and spices. You can find suppliers in your local telephone book.

    You can also find a willing retailer to donate an item that can be raffled off. In fact, you can get many retailers to participate, and then hold a "Chinese Auction" at your school by advertising to all the grades. This would prove highly successful, as even parents could provide gift cards, new items they may have lying around the house, etc.

    You’ll be running on that track before you know it!

    Hope this helped you.

  2. maybe try selling the candy bars and just look up fundraisers online. our school doesnt either :-( we run on bumpy grass! lol good luck
