Good stuff, thanks. Clammer, I found out there is a kind of car wash you advertise as a "Topless Carwash" You make so the kids are out of sight and when people come around the corner they find out topless means the kids wash the lower half of your car for free, if you want the top washed it whatever $$ they're charging. Hopefully people remember it was done in good fun and pay up.
Good idea, Katie, but the coupon books the 8th grade sells each year. I like to suggest things the kids will do themselves. I really get PO'd when the school sends home a fund raiser which means we hit up the neighbors (and are then obligated to buy from their kids) or we take the fund raiser into work, which teaches the kids nothing about working for a cause. Car washes, flea markets, getting paid for doing chores for people, babysitting (good one bit $$) they can get their hands dirty a little. I have to figure 50-50 raffles at major events would be pretty good. Also heard of something called a Rocking Chair Rock_A_Thon. Get your sponsors and start rocking. Last one rocking wins a prize.
