So some updates. We ended up getting around 6 people on board. Our total market at this stage is estimated to be around 35 people. These people are mostly the year 12s and 13s in our school. At have not figured out a way for how to tap into year 11s and international students. That is what I am currently trying to do so the number of our people increases.
I am thinking of ways to do this.
For one the plan is to create heaps of little posters to place around the school. On each of these posters an image of the best looking fidget spinners will be shown in order to catch peoples eyes. That as well as the fact they are being sold at only around 6 dollars.
After that the plan is then to create a school event via facebook so that people know to bring money to the occasion. I have already received the deputy principal's permission for this. We are also allowed to bring in more people for this out of school provided he knows about it.
In addition we also might send people up into classes in order to inform them of this important issue. And confront them with it, informing them that their is a fundraiser as well as reinforcing them of how important the issue is. The deal is while people may dismiss a board they see conveying the message of the fundraser it is impossible to do so whilst you are in class and someone is speaking about that issue.
It also may be a good idea to get a year 11 and an international student on our side preferably one who their peers like. People do and are often expected to do things for their friends and their groups. Maybe we could use that to our advantage. Provided we get them to play to their crowd.

Everyone in your school will know about the fundraiser with all that publicity. Do you have a theme for your event?
