Graphic to track fundraising like thermometer?

Question

Our nonprofit organization is doing a bit of fundraising for an event at the end of summer, and we need some sort of graphic like a thermometer to track our progress. We want to get people really excited about this event, and we feel that a thermometer would be kind of a buzz killer due to it's unoriginality hehe So, if you have any ideas on a more original tracking system, we would would definitely appreciate it = )

Thank you so much!

P.S. This is a youth program, and it would be great if the tracker could reflect that.

Answer 1

Use lego's to build a church, or something like that, once our youth put their hand prints on tiles and then covered a section of the concrete wall in the youth building. Good luck and God Bless!!
