Fundraising Ideas

We have included some successful ideas or consider trying something new to support our wish kids!

  • Wish Walls – Sell Wish Stars provided by us for $1, $3, or $5 and fill a wall.
  • 50/50 Raffle: Sell raffle tickets for a determined amount. The person who has the winning ticket wins half of the total monies raised – the other half will be donated to Make-A-Wish Arizona.
  • Silent Auction – Secure items to be auctioned off through solicitation via phone, in person, online, or by mail. Display all donated items in an appropriate place allowing participants to indicate their name and the amount they are willing to pay. 
  • Sporting Event – After a location is chosen for this event, determine the cost per person (including food) and charge each person a certain amount over cost. That amount will be donated to Make-A-Wish Arizona.  You can also sell sponsorships and/or hold a raffle to raise even more money. At a golf tournament, you can sell mulligans as well. 
  • Turn an existing activity into a fundraiser – Turn your summer picnic and holiday party into a dream come true for an Arizona child by collecting a small donation at the door. You can add raffle items to raise more money.
