Is there anybody in the community that you can blackmail?

If you're doing bake sales, parties, other events - another thing to do is go around to local businesses and collect their advertising swag (the stuff they buy to give away; pens, key chains, mouse pads, calendars etc) and make mystery grab bags to sell. Also get the businesses to donate goods and services to suit your cause ie. restaurants/grocery stores for bake sales etc.

Nothing brings in money faster than strippers and booze, unfortunately. The next best would be pizzas and/or hoagie/submarine sandwiches, preordered and delivered on a particular night/weekend. If you can work out a wholesale deal with a local business, and deliver them yourselves, it can pay. Knowing the project is for a good cause might make people tip well too.

The bar-b-que with games, like toss a softball into a bushel basket tipped at 45 degrees, or toss a coin and land on an upside down glass, where you win a cheap prize plus bragging rights, can be fun and productive.

Selling protection, while wearing a fedora and bulging coat, works too.
