Garage sales are big! Ask ppl on Craigslist to donate items that you can sell. You would be surprised at how ppl come through.

So sorry to hear about your friend. You are a sweet, supportive friend for wanting to help! I have a friend that is raising money to walk in breast cancer marathon in October and they have tried many things to raise money. Our local bowling alley let them have a party there and they got to keep a portion of what was spent for bowling. They made it fun with a raffle and contest for best score. She hand-painted wine glasses w/ pink dots and gave them away w/ any $10 or more donation at a church festival and also at a gold party another friend had. She works in a dental office and her dentist raffled off a teeth whitening session when you purchased a raffle ticket. Our kids are going to have a lemonade stand and offer treats for free, but donations welcome. She is also planning an adults only "poker night" where we dress up and "buy in", have food and drink and the proceeds go into her fund. I know she spoke to Tijuana Flats and Chik Fil a and they will sponsor a charity night like they do for the schools, and she will send out an e-vite to everyone telling them date/time to go. Send out a plea on facebook.
Hope that helps and good luck to you and your friend!

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I just started selling Avon a few weeks ago and through my training they talk a lot about doing fundraisers. I'm not sure if I could do it from where I live (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) but you could do it through a rep near you. If you want to find out more, email me at ____@____.com. I can look into it further if you would like. Either way, I wish you the best in your efforts.

God Bless you all. This is the support your friend needs.
Contact churches, schools, etc. I will donate art for a raffle or silent auction.
Will give more ideas for a fundraiser.
Kids can join in by car-wash, baby-sitting, dog-walking...
