Skunkworks Robotics Fundraising

Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser
The team puts on a wonderful dinner, silent auction and Dessert Auction that brings in most of our fundraising dollars for the year. Our event has grown to over 200 diners and everyone has a great time. The dessert auction can get very loud as people outbid each other for the delicious desserts donated by families and local businesses.

Car Wash Ticket Sales
Our team raised money by selling tickets for Brown Bear Car Wash over the summer break. The kids were able to raise money for their individual accounts.

Letter Writing Campaign
Each team member sends out letters describing our team and the benefits of being on the team. Friends, family members and business owners then respond with generous donations to help the students meet their individual goals.

Rummage Sale and Car Wash
Each spring the team holds a rummage sale to raise money for the team and to help our families recycle unwanted items. The students help to set up and break down the sale and wash the constant stream of cars.

Yard Work for Donors
We donate yard work sessions to several auctions at the school. Winning bidders will receive a crew of skunks who weed, mow, trim and beautify their yard. Everyone who has received this has been very satisfied and usually bid again the following year.

Snack Sales
We set up tables and sell pizza, snacks and drinks to our team and visiting teams during events at our school. A nice win/win situation since there usually is not enough time to leave the campus to get food during break times.
