Okay, my Japanese class want to fund-raise money for a trip to Japan for next year. We have plenty of time and we need an idea that is effective and sustainable.

Any ideas?

Ask for administrative funding? <= probably a hassle though
Sell candy?

Car washes are fun.

A club at my school had Guitar Hero and Rock Band set up during lunch a few weeks ago. They made you pay some money (2-3 dollars or something) to play a song, and it ended up being pretty successful.

My school is poor and don't have any money left.

Car washes are a cool idea, but I don't know if it'll generate a lot of money.

Yeah, a Rock Band tournament sounds fun.

Is there a link to some fundraising items my club can sell at a reasonable margin?

Sell sushi. Seriously.

Or pocky? .

Yeah, pocky doesn't cost too much and could draw in a good profit, except- how popular is it with average students? I know I could eat it with every meal, because there is always some in my kitchen, but would regular kids be familiar with it and want to pay for it?

Trivia nights are always fun. Get people and their parents to chip in for some larger prizes, for instance, our school was in a very heavy wine-growing region so lots of parents chipped in with packages of wine, winery tours etc. Lots of other though.

And the trivia nights are always heaps of fun if you invite students, parents and teachers. Publicise it a lot and you'll get heaps of people along. Last one we had we earned over $4500, just in one night.
