Sponsored events work well (again, especially if they involve children) and can be pretty low key in terms of organisation. This will only bring in small amounts of money (>$2000) but if you are able to hand them off to someone else then one or two will really help your target.
A sponsored walk is probably the best. A good clean family day out, perhaps ending in a BBQ/ potluck supper where everyone brings something to eat - it's not part of the fundraising but it encourages people to join in. If you have one or two really motivated people they will bring in the majority of the money, but the rest get to feel involved and part of the community.
Having a well known bearded fellow have his beard - and ideally his hair - shaved off can bring in $1000ish. If he has a job in the local community it will bring in more. Again, small beer, but every little will help.
Any Christian radio stations in your area?
Or Christian newspapers?
Local media often promote charity events, and like to be linked with them.
Good luck.
