Fundraisers here are a) selling shit, b) collecting donations of good and services from area businesses/families/teachers and auctioning them off, and c) having a "fun fair." The most effective was the auction, but was a ton of work, so the PTA switched to a check writing campaign, and it actually brought in almost as much money with zero work. The parents were ready to pay to avoid volunteering so much time.
