Event Type: Car Wash

Average Amount Raised: Almost $150

Startup Cost: maybe $10 for soap. The buckets, sponges, and towers can be borrowed from brothers at no cost. The location, we had our beautiful and smart brothers tall to a gas station and we got it free for a day. Water is free too from the gas station. But if we have to pay it wouldn't be that much.

Time required: 2 weeks of planning, 2 weeks of flyers (through facebook, word of mouth, and actual flyers), 6-7 hours (event)

Resources required: gas station or someone's backyard, water, manpower

Materials required: sponge, soap, bucket, flyers, and beautiful female brothers in bikini lol I'm just kidding about the bikini part, it attracts more business but it's fine without.

Event Summary: Raise money through manpower of washing people's car. $5/car and it takes on average 5-10 minutes/car. People would tip so we actually get more than $5/car.

Steps:

1. Find the location, usually gas station or backyard.

2. Find a sunny day, usually saturday when people is on weekend and drives their cars around for fun without time constraint.

3. Get brothers to sign up for ship. 1 hour ship per brother is required. We would have at least 2-3 brothers at site at all time.

4. Give out flyers, post event on facebook, word of mouth to everyone on campus.
