Obviously, Big Thunder is smarter than me.

JBSTew, where is your link?

We attached a thank you note to it and VOILA!!! A candy pouch that cost us 75 cents to make raised $2 a pop. That was a great fundraising tool, and people were actually asking us for more.

My mom (DreamFairy) said she would help but since it is something I have to earn then I need to do the majority of the work. They have set up a washington DC fund for me so all of my money will go into that.so any ideas would be great.

Just go to this link and check "donate directly to CHOC"

Next year we should plan ahead and all encourage our LP friends to sponsor walkers and we can set it up in the Meets section.

There are also car washes, selling stuff on eBay for more than you paid for, what else can you do?

How about a dog-wash? That could be fun, too.

I remember one kid who wanted to raise money for the firefighters after 9/11/01. All of the American Flags were sold out all over, so these kids came up with this idea of painting flags on car windows for donations. Clever.

I will create another photo-trip report and I'll post it when it is done.
