I am working on a huge fundraising project for my college. I am looking for new and creative ideas for ways to get money. We have no problem getting the people to show up, its getting them to open their wallets and spend money.

I know how creative ADDers can be, so please help me out! Any things u have done in the past that have worked, or just new ideas are more then welcome.

Thanks all:D

Silent auctions with wine and cheese or heavy refreshments and reception...not a particularly a new idea, but one that is fun and usually brings them in.
You can also ask for donations in place of a bid.

I remember one time going to a "Win a date with Mr. Wonderful" show. The women bid on the men who came out in fashion show style. He in turn was to take the winner to dinner.

Real cute idea, a load of fun, and they raised a lot of money...a press release was sent to the newspaper also announcing the event.

(you could always have a carwash ;))
