Thankfully, this year\u2019s class might not have to suffer the same fate, thanks to <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/2020\/12\/what-we-know-about-u-s-covid-19-vaccine-distribution-plan.html\">COVID-19 vaccines rolling out at record speed<\/a>. While we must still anticipate that this year\u2019s prom-goers may have to be socially-distanced and masked up (hello, formal face masks!), it\u2019s looking like there will be opportunity &#8211; and plenty of reason &#8211;\u00a0 to celebrate come the end of the school year.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t know whether prom will be a go this year, we still recommend getting a head start on planning, and of course, <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/school-fundraising-ideas\/\">fundraising<\/a>. We\u2019ve compiled a list of 5 easy and fun <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/graduation\/\">prom fundraising ideas<\/a> to help students pull off the enchanting night of their dreams. After all, it\u2019s been a long time coming.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1533728068\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1617361064\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2>1) Design and Sell T-Shirts<\/h2>\n<p>This graduation fundraising idea is in every graduating class\u2019 arsenal, and for good reason. Not only is it uber-profitable, it provides students with a wonderful keepsake commemorating their high school journey.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/t-shirts\/t-shirt-fundraiser.html\">t-shirt fundraiser<\/a> offers a vast array of premade designs and slogans. We also encourage you to come up with your own design. In fact, you can boost your profits by holding a t-shirt design contest and charging a small fee per vote. And remember, the more you sell, the more you make: with JustFundraising, your class can earn up to a whopping $12 per t-shirt!<\/p>\n<h2>2) Prom-ote Student Art With an Auction\/Sale<\/h2>\n<p>Have some creative students in your midst? Commission some of your best artistes to create works of original art that can be auctioned off online. Alternatively, you can sell prints, allowing for many copies of the same piece to be sold. While this requires a bit more of an investment, you\u2019ll likely make your money back in spades. Plus, your local printer may be willing to offer a discount for such a good cause.<\/p>\n<h2>3) Bring In Lots of Dough With &#8211; You Guessed It &#8211; Cookie Dough!<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to raising funds in the thousands, our <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/cookie-dough.html\">gourmet cookie dough fundraisers<\/a> are a sure bet. In fact, one of the comments we hear most about these irresistible sweet treats is that they sell themselves. This is particularly true in a pandemic year, when family time and movie nights are paramount.<\/p>\n<p>We know that times are tough for many families, financially-speaking. This is why we now offer a <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/cookie-dough\/10-cookie-dough-plus.html\">$10 cookie dough fundraiser<\/a>, featuring the same quality and variety as our deluxe options, just in a slightly smaller format. Plus, your JustFundraising cookie dough fundraiser comes with your <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iraisemore.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">very own online store<\/a> for completely contact-free fundraising!<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-large row-solid\"  id=\"row-692620465\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1980481382\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n  <div class=\"icon-box testimonial-box icon-box-left text-left\">\n                <div class=\"icon-box-text p-last-0\">\n          <div class=\"star-rating\"><span style=\"width:100%\"><strong class=\"rating\"><\/strong><\/span><\/div>  \t\t\t\t<div class=\"testimonial-text line-height-small italic test_text first-reset last-reset is-italic\">\n            \n<h3>Just what we needed for our graduation ceremony!<\/h3>\n<p>Our graduation class raised over $2,000 profit with the <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/cookie-dough\/crazy-about-cookies-frozen-dough.html\">cookie dough fundraiser<\/a> to put towards caps, gowns and a few other prom expenses.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 75%;\">Elizabeth<\/span><\/p>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"testimonial-meta pt-half\">\n             <strong class=\"testimonial-name test_name\"><\/strong>\n                          <span class=\"testimonial-company test_company\"><\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-692620465 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 10px 10px px 10px;\n  background-color: rgb(239, 239, 239);\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-649273913\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1663815301\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1116249677\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1116249677 {\n  padding-top: 40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h2>4) Make and Sell Bundles as Candy-Grams<\/h2>\n<p>Our <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/candy-fundraisers\/lollipops.html\">huge variety of lollipop fundraisers<\/a> as well as our <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/candy-fundraisers\/1-treats\/pretzel-rods.html\">$1 pretzel rod fundraisers<\/a> are perfect for bundling up and selling as candy-grams around school. Simply group 5 of each item together using sandwich bags and ribbon and sell for $5. Make them anonymous, or add the option of a personalized note for $1. Get permission to have a team of volunteers deliver bundles throughout the school during the last period of the day.<\/p>\n<h2>5) Foster Friendly Prom-petition With a Change War Fundraiser<\/h2>\n<p>This grad fundraiser idea can be done a variety of ways. Each homeroom class gets their own labeled jar in a designated high-traffic area. The winner can simply be the class that raises the most money, no fuss no muss. Or you can spice things up by assigning positive and negative points to each type of coin. For instance, each silver coin carries its value in points (5, 10, or 25), while each penny is -1 point. This way, students can \u201csabotage\u201d other classes by tossing pennies into their jars.<\/p>\n<h2>6) Offer fun prizes to the winning class, such as a pizza party, a skip day, or red-carpet VIP treatment during prom.<\/h2>\n<p>Offer Prom-Appropriate Style and Safety With Custom Face Masks<br \/>While there\u2019s certainly light at the end of this long tunnel, we aren\u2019t quite out of the woods yet. This doesn\u2019t mean that prom will be canceled &#8211; you may just have to get creative. Some examples include holding prom outside, drawing social distancing circles on your dance floor, and of course, requiring face masks be worn.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a class=\"bloginsidelink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/order-takers\/face-masks\/custom-face-mask-fundraiser.html\">custom face mask fundraiser<\/a> offers plenty of stylish designs that are perfect for prom. Or you can create custom designs specifically for your promgoers. Some of our faves include \u201cprom king\u201d or \u201cprom queen\u201d slogans, tuxedo or corsage designs, or simply your school\u2019s name with \u201cclass of 2020\u201d. Let your creativity shine while making your classmates\u2019 safety a priority.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a difficult year, and your class deserves a reward for getting through it with spirit and resilience. Here\u2019s hoping we can soon lift our punch glasses to a memorable year gone by and a bright future ahead.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-542286549\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-308822125\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"message-box relative dark\" style=\"padding-top:15px;padding-bottom:15px;\"><div class=\"message-box-bg-image bg-fill fill\" ><\/div><div class=\"message-box-bg-overlay bg-fill fill\" ><\/div><div class=\"container relative\"><div class=\"inner last-reset\">\n<div class=\"row align-middle align-center\"  id=\"row-1545321751\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-380914173\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><strong>Ready To Get Your Prom Fundraiser Started?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like us to help you get started with your fundraiser, or if you would like more information:<\/p>\n<p>Please call us toll free and speak to one of our amazing and friendly staff at<\/p>\n<p>Toll-Free 1-888-440-4114 or email us <a href=\"mailto:helpdesk@justfundraising.com\">helpdesk@justfundraising.com<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1914701018\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:20px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img width=\"795\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/team-pic.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Justfundraising staff picture\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/team-pic.jpg 795w, https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/team-pic-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.justfundraising.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/team-pic-768x203.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1914701018 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is prom making a 2021 comeback?
