Rat Race

By CMIV

As a promo for our church fall festival in 2002, we sponsored a Rat Race. We bought 10 inexpensive white mice from the pet store and showed them off to the congregation the Sunday before as advertisement for our event. We built a four-lane plywood racetrack with a lever at the entrance for the mice to race. We had thousands of people show up to the event, and many came to see the mice race. It was a really fun promotion. But you must make sure you have workers who don’t mind handling rodents!

Creative Fundraisers

By CMIV

Door-to-door carwashes: just go around your block with all the gear you need, ask the people if you can wash their car in their driveway! I’ve never been turned down! Rent-a-kid: “Rent-out” the kids in your children’s ministry to do household chores for those in your congregation. Kid Talent Show: have kids in your church put on a talent show and charge admission. Have costume characters of your church available for pictures for a small fee. Have a “parent’s night out” and charge a $10 fee for parents dropping off kids for the entire night at a lock-in.
