We have gone to different golf course and asked them to donate a free green feesf or anyone who purchases a golf cart rental.  We sold the cards for $25.00 a piece with 3 different courses listed.  It has worked out great!!!  And did you know that walmart has a matching funds grant that they will match one of your fundraisers up to $1,000 !!!!  It works

Glad to hear you were able to raise some funds AGUMCC.  How close to your goal are you?

Do you know where people can apply for the Walmart matching funds grant?  Is there paperwork in the store or can they download an apllication off of the Walmart website?

we only have about 2500 left til our goal.  We had a parent download the information from walmart .com and then we turned it into the HR department at our local store.  You may also try and go into the sotre and talk to someone there.  They only match up to $1,000 but that better than nothing.  Hope this helps good luck

AGYMCC-

Can you provide a link to the download on the walmart website? This is the most I could find:
