Smash that Car Brunch / Break Activity

Picture By: West Ranch High School / ASB Director Todd Arrowsmith

Purchase a car from a salvage yard. Make sure the car you purchase can be delivered and picked up after the activity by the salvage company. Place the car in the middle of campus, and allow the students to smash it with a sledge hammer. Charge each student $1 for 10 swings at the car. Prior to bringing the car on campus, ask the salvage company to drain all the fluids from the car. Also, be sure to place a large tarp underneath the car. You want to make sure you don’t cause any damage to your school property. For fun, you can paint the car in your rival school's colors for an added effect. This activity is popular the same day of a car show. Make sure you are taking all the appropriate steps to ensure a safe activity.

Some school districts may not allow this event to be held as a result of its possible risks. FCMAT considers this to be an unallowable fundraiser.
