COOKOUT FUNDRAISER: CHECKLIST


  • Verify the date and time is on your school's calendar. Notify the Cookout Fundraiser Coordinator of any changes as soon as possible.
  • Select three to five adult volunteers to help organize the line and perform other tasks.

  • The tickets provided are for a hamburger or a cheeseburger, potato chips and a soft drink. Items cannot be sold separately. Our burgers are served with lettuce, tomato and spread.
  • The suggested price for each ticket is $5. Please contact the Cookout Fundraiser Coordinator if you need to change this price.
  • The minimum number of ticket sales is 300; the maximum is 800. If your school is unable to meet this requirement, please contact the Cookout Fundraiser Coordinator as soon as possible. You may invite parents and faculty to increase your total sales. Outside sales are not permitted.

* Contact the Cookout Fundraiser Coordinator with your ticket sales three days prior to your cookout; we schedule our crew and order food according to your sales to assure proper coverage.
