Anyone know how to raise $5000 in the next 2 weeks for a non profit organization?

Question

I am with the Latino Club at my school. We have this event in 6 weeks for families. We call it the Latino Night. We have food from different latin countires and we have typical games and dances from the countries too. Here is the problem. We would like to have Daddy Yankee come preform for our Latino night. The event is in 6 weeks but when I called the producers for Daddy Yankee they said they wanted $5000 for him to come sing at our event.

We are a non profit organization and I would like to know how I can raise the $5000 in the next 2 weeks so that Daddy Yankee can come to our Latino Night event. We only have about $100 in our savings fund for the club.

We need money and fast. Within the next 2 weeks or less. thanks.

I think that there is no legal way to raise that kind of money in the time that you have available.  You might want to consider a local group to do the function and plan on this other group for a later time -- when you have had enough money saved up to pay for it.  And just because the headliner books a performance doesn't mean you will sell all the tickets up front.
