People will be happy to pay for these cards which entitle them to free pizzas.  If your group is spread out geographically, this may be ideal.  Ideal for small groups due to small minimum order requirements.  Profit margins 70-90%.

<b>Scratch card fundraising</b>

Easy to order and can be printed to link to your group e.g. basketball, baseball, high school, etc.  Each person in your group begins fundraising with 1 scratch card. They simply approach friends, family, and neighbors and ask them to scratch too!  Profit ranges from 90% upwards.

<b>Fundraiser candles</b>

Everyone loves candles and especially scented candles!  Simply take orders from friends and families – these items are especially good for Christmas fundraising.  Profit margin 50%
