Floating Lantern Night

Overall Cost: $
Complexity: 1

Get participants to make a wish, and send their lantern up into the sky (just like in Tangled!).

Things to Consider

  • Decide whether you want participants to make the lanterns themselves, or you can purchase them beforehand.
  • You’ll also need to have a plan to dispose of them afterwards — you wouldn’t want your fundraiser to turn into a polluter.
