[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 214774, member: 1233"] If you have some space to gather things, you can raise a LOT of $$ with a garage sale done right. We did one for the school and even with items priced very cheaply we raised several thousand $$. We also do silent auctions, where a group of people each get together to make a basket or 2. husband's company did this for the United Way and raised an astounding amount in an afternoon. Tickets to local sporting events (mostly college games as we have no pro ball games here, well except for some minorleague stuff), Gift certificates, handmade items, all sorts of stuff. If you can advertise to the community, maybe a kids' explore setup? Get the fire dept and concrete co and other businesses who have trucks or cool cars to bring them to one large parking lot that is taped off. Each kid gets to come in and explore all the cool things for $5. The kids know it goes to a good cause, so they can feel good, and so can the parents. PLUS it is a really cool family activity. Esp if you have drinks for sale, and maybe a bake sale? I wish you good luck. You are a good friend. [/QUOTE]
