Hi Dan,
First - Good luck with your walk! PM me your paypal and I'll kick in a few dollars 
I just did a Crop Walk yesterday and this year's total was the lowest ever. I ended up with $90 in sponsors & Kaity had $35. Nobody has had the money this year.
Okay, enough with the depressing parts. Some of the things we (my church Missions Committee) have done to raise money:
1) Have a lunch/dinner. This can be a simple meal of spaghetti or soup & sandwiches. Try to get people to donate the food to make the meal and all monies collected are profit.
2) We do have a car wash every year in June to help the kids go to summer camp. We have found that if you leave the cost up to the customer you end up making more money.
3) Have a family game night. Ask people to bring their favorite board game, provide some snacks and encourage people to play each other's games, play in different groups, etc. Charge a nominal fee for admission.
4) Hold a play or musical performance starring the the kids that the money will benefit.
5) Christmas is coming - have breakfast with Santa. We are in the process of planning our breakfast for this year. We will have pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast & sausage. The kids will get to sit on Santa's lap. One of our member is a professional school photographer and will take the pics, I will be there with a laptop offering prints for $3, cd for $3 or both for $5. Breakfast by is $2 a person. We are buying the food ourselves from a Restaurant Supply place.
I'm sure I have more for you, but this is a start  |
