  • The Orchestra Teacher Who Quit Selling Popcorn and Threw a Party Instead

    The Orchestra Teacher Who Quit Selling Popcorn and Threw a Party Instead
    2026/07/01
    What if your fundraiser didn't sell a single thing? In this episode, Mark talks with Whitney Duncan, a twelve-year orchestra teacher at Bay Creek Middle School, about the "fundraiser party" she runs every spring for all six of her classes. Instead of pushing wrapping paper and cookie dough, she lets students raise money to earn their way into a four-hour after-school bash. A $30 raise gets you in, $80 earns you a can of silly string to spray her with, and the single top fundraiser gets to throw a pie in her face — one kid raised almost $1,000 chasing that prize. She set a $5,000 goal this year and brought in about $8,000, and runs the whole 150-kid party for basically the cost of the pizza because families donate everything else. Whitney breaks down the two-prize incentive design, the leaderboard trash talk, the three-week timeline, and the one operational lesson she learned the hard way: make every parent tag the kid they're supporting. If you run a band, orchestra, choir, or any program fundraiser, this is the no-product playbook.

    In this episode of Fundraising Ideas for Schools, Mark Walker sits down with Ashlee Scott, the first-year head coach of the Springville High School D'Velles Drill Team, to discuss how she revived the Junior D'Velles Drill Clinic and turned it into a major success.

    Despite being brand new to coaching, Ashlee set an ambitious goal: enroll 100 participants, reintroduce a beloved community tradition, and raise funds to help rebuild the program. The result? Exactly 100 participants and more than $6,000 raised.

    Ashlee shares:

    • How she brought back the Junior D'Velles clinic after years of inactivity • Why partnering the clinic with a community parade created excitement and visibility • How she determined pricing and structured the event • The marketing tactics that helped fill the clinic • Lessons learned from managing 100 participants and their families • What she'd do differently next year • Why drill teams, cheer teams, and other school organizations should consider running a clinic of their own

    Whether you're a coach, teacher, booster club leader, or school fundraiser, this episode is packed with practical ideas for building community engagement while raising money for your program.

    Listen in to hear how one first-year coach turned a simple idea into a memorable event that strengthened her team, connected with the community, and created a tradition that will continue for years to come.
