How about a toilet fund raiser or you can use pink flamingos, a big wooden cow. You place the toilet in someone's yard (not on the grass, it kills it and they get mad!) but leave a number taped to the toilet of who they can call to make a donation to have that toilet moved from their yard. They can pay to have it move and give you an address of the next recipient. Here's the extra bonus, for an additional $10 donation, you guarentee they wont' get it back. It's a fun one BUT you have to have someone with a truck and willing to move it from place to place.

A few fundraiser idea's that work in our rural area.

Car Wash

Auction off local "celebrities"

Have people "arrested" and make them get their friends to bail them out.

Have a potluck dinner and get people to buy dinner tickets.

Any kind of cook-off
