Hi all.
As an alumnus, one of the projects I've been in charge of is coming up with fundraisers for our undergrads.
I've spent the last 6 months collecting as many ideas as I could find as a result. I don't want all that work to go to waste, so I will be reposting them in chunks in this thread, with links to the actual sources for more info.
I think this thread could become a useful resource for anyone looking for inspiration for fundraising, so feel free to contribute!
