Ideas for raising money for different charities? Like staying up for 5 days.....?

Question

My friends and i want to do something over a span of about 5 days.

And we want to raise money for a charity.

AND WE NEED IDEAS!

Staying up for 5 days.

Running/Walking for Five days.

Obviously all of us cant stay up for 5 days.

At least one of us will be awake to do the task.

So give us your idea for your charity!

We would appreciate it if it had some relevance to the charity.

We would love to help; the elderly; Alzheimer's; kids; homeless....

GIVE US YOUR IDEAS!

And we will love you forever! :]

dance marathon --where people pledge money for the number of hours you dance -- relate to the elderly or Alzheimer's by playing old fashioned music or to kids by playing children's music

homeless - have a Habitat for Humanity house building marathon where they build the house in five days

have people make something during the five days that can then be donated - like sleeping bags/Ugly Quilts for the homeless out of recycled materials  -- or quilts --or Project Linus quilts for ill children

or a knitting/crocheting marathon where they make sweaters for baby layettes and prayer shawls
