Ultimate Guide to Raising Money for After Prom Parties
Prom season is a great time for high school students to get together, have fun and make memories. But behind the scenes, it can take a lot of work to put on an after prom party. Raising the necessary funds for decorations, music and activities can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are plenty of creative fundraising techniques that you can use to make your after prom celebration a success!
Develop an Outreach Strategy
When you think about inflatables you might think about young kids. However, there are new inflatables made specifically for students and adults! Inflatable games and obstacle courses are always a hit at any school event. Not only do they provide physical activity, but they also give students a chance to work together to reach the end goal. The fun doesn’t stop there either! Consider adding other interactive events, such as Wii tournaments or trivia competitions for extra excitement.
