Fundraising

[1sttimecoach]

Does anyone know of great ways to put on a fundraiser to help some of my gymnists pay for gymnastics lessons?

are you talking about a booster club raising funds or individual families raising funds? If its boosters, are they 5013c? IRS rules will vary in the different scenarios above.
