| The
Best Seat in the House
First,
find a sofa to use. This fund raiser involves raffling off tickets for
a student and two friends to win the best seat in the house. Tickets
are sold throughout the week prior to a game. Before a volleyball, basketball,
or football game announce the winner. The winner gets to sit on the
sofa with two of his or her friends. Make sure the sofa is in an ideal
spot to view the game. For halftime, order pizza and sodas for the winner
and guests.

Ask a furniture
store to donate a chair or love seat if possible. Sell the tickets for
$1 during the JV game or girl's game (if a double header). During the
last two minutes of warm-up for the varsity game, draw a name. This
person gets to sit in the best seat (if you have a love seat, they get
to choose someone to sit with them). They also get popcorn, a pop and
their name entered into the drawing to be held at the end of the season
to win the chair (if the store is willing to give it away). The chair
is placed on the sideline or on the stage if you have a small gym. You'll
make lots if you do it for both men's and women's basketball games.

The Wilcox Future
Business Leaders of America hosted the "Best Seat in the House"
fundraiser. Members sold tickets to students and community members for
weeks prior to the fundraiser. The winner of the "Best Seat in
the House" was awarded a couch, a free pizza, and free pop for
himself and three of his friends. The fundraiser was a nice change of
pace for the chapter and the community. It allowed the community to
get involved in FBLA. It also allowed for a little fun.

Throughout our
spirit week we sold tickets to "Best Seat in the House" at
the end of the week we had a pep assembly. We had a funny male teacher
dress up as an old lady maid and serve three winning kids pizza and
pop on couches at the end of the gym. On teacher also won, they had
to sit in an old rickety chair!
