It is difficult to imagine anyone saying no to participating in fundraising events that have something to do with popcorn. And among the most enthusiastic are children. Seriously, who doesn’t love popcorn? This fact makes it very easy to set up a popcorn fundraiser. As long as you keep these few tips in mind, you are well on your way to having a successful fundraising event. First of all, you need to remember that parents will even encourage their kids to buy the popcorn you are selling if you let them know that you used healthy ingredients in making them. You can use healthy sunflower oil to start for regular popcorn, and non-fat butter for that sweet buttery popcorn that even adults would love.

Your fundraising event will also be successful if you follow a specific theme. Sports themes never fail, for instance. You can wrap your popcorn in paper bags that have sports themed designs and colors, or you can organize a mini sports fest to sell more popcorn to spectators. A popcorn fundraiser would also be successful if you sell to more than just the kids in your neighborhood. Invite co-workers and their kids to the event and encourage them to bring more of their friends. Another option to raise more money selling popcorn is to set up booths in community fairs or even outside local grocery stores or even gas stations. You would, however, need to ask permission from the establishment owners, but as long as it’s for a good cause, you won’t have trouble getting the go-ahead.
