[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 27627, member: 3211"] The local firemen just had a fundraiser here during our Winter Fest - they did a combination chili cookoff and a polar bear dip dealy. Local businesses donated money for cash awards and/or gift certificates for the chili cookoff - participants had a registration fee. The brave polar dippers raised pledges of a set amount of $ to jump in a large vat of river water - in a couple of ocassions, some guys' "friends" raised money so their buddies would have to jump. They held both events in the park simultaneously and raised several thousand dollars. Not a grand scale event, but we only have a population of less than 10,000 people. If you live in a larger area, you might make more. Some organization locally also pulls phony arrests of village "celebrities" and then advertises that they have to raise $XX to release the people from their capture. It is usually held in the village park or just outside a local shopping center, etc. Don't know if either of these would work or not. [/QUOTE]
