Movie in the Park for School Fundraising
School is only a few weeks away. With school starting up soon, school fundraisers will also be getting into full swing. That being said, there are many different ways and ideas to raise money for your or your kids school. There are traditional ways like selling candy bars or doing car washes, but those fundraising events are an awful amount of work. It can be especially difficult when it is really hot outside. Selling chocolate bars in 110 degree heat is not very easy!
A great way to have fun with the families of your kid’s school and to raise money for the school is by having a “Movie in the Park” night at the school. A movie in the park is a really easy and fun fundraising idea for a school.
It is really easy to pull off a movie in the park event. All you need to do is call your nearest inflatable rental company and see if they offer inflatable movie screens in your area. If they offer screens you may find that they offer a couple different sizes that may work for your event. The best overall size to use for your movie night is probably a 16′ wide and 9′ tall viewable screen. Be sure that when you talk to the inflatable rental company that they specify what the VIEWABLE dimension of the screen is. That is what is important when ordering a screen. You want to make sure that you get a screen that is big enough for your event. You’d hate for hundreds of people to show up for your event and have a small screen that nobody can see.
So how do you make money for your school with a movie in the park? This is quite simple. All you really need to do is charge admission for the movie in the park night. This is an obvious way to make money with a movie night. Another great way to raise funds for your school is to sell concessions while the movie is playing. There is no better way to make money on these nights than with a popcorn, cotton candy, snow cone, or nacho machine. Think of how long the lines are at the movie theater when you go to see the latest movie. Now think about how great it would be to capitalize on people’s appetites during your movie night!
Inflatable movie nights in the park at your school fundraiser is a very quick and easy way to make money for your school. You can expect to make at least a few hundred dollars from this very fun fundraising activity. It is a great way to have fun with the families of your school and raise money for your school!
