Barbecue Night

Needless to say that marinate the meat well and make sure that you apply some recipes that are known for their tastes. Get someone who is good at barbecuing to make sure that everything falls in place. Keep it all you can eat event but be sure to have a good price tag on the entry of the event. Add sodas as an option if someone wants to get something to drink. This will help you even more with the school fundraising.

Cheesecake

Get this made in bulk on a discounted rate from a bakery or if you or someone at school can make a great cheesecake, do it. You will need loads of it as people just love to eat it.

You can also arrange for tea and coffee as people generally don’t mind a hot beverage along with their cakes. It may not be the best idea to have a lone cheesecake event unless you are offering cakes that can be bought as well apart from being eaten on the spot. Depending on the arrangement, you can set up a pricing mechanism.

Burgers
