I have a 10th grader who informed me that parents and administrators in our district have already planned their senior prom and it will cost about $10,000.00 because they also plan to keep the kids all night for an after prom party so they don't go out and do something stupid. (She didn't go for the suggestion I made about what I did on my prom night: get six friends who didn't have dates, pack into Bres's Torino and head out to Montauk Point, get a case of Olympia, go watch Lipstick at the drive-in, crash at Bres's, and get up and go on a bass/blues charter hungover the next day).

Anyway, she wants to do a fundraiser that isn't run by some other company that takes half the profits. You guys are thinkers. Got any ideas what some energetic 16 year olds can do to raise some cash? There's gotta be something other than bake sales and car wash's and I think the entire East Coast is getting a little tired of Joe Corbi's pizza.
Mind you she's an innocent teenager, so nothing involving street corners or fishnet stockings.
