I hope too, that this might open up other ideas for raising funds for other charities, too.

Originally Posted By peeaanuut well the first thought in raising money is that your going to get half of what you need from 1 source. The source could be a person, a family or a company. You could even concider LP as 1 source. So think of it this way. You need 170, half that to 85. Go and ask some people for 85, most of them wont have it but you will get the 1 and 5 doller donations. Before you know it you have the first 85. But still try for that 85 from one source. It always works for me that way, no matter how much I am raising. And yes, why didnt you ask for help on here? People ask for prayers, good wishes and help every day on LP, why not tap the monitary end of things as well? We are all here to help.
