I know this is kinda backwards but that is the way it is...
Background: My homeschooled son, as a big, unique and long term community service project wants to start a scholarship fund. He is pursuing the Congressional Medals in all four areas and this is his goal for the community service category.
He has a huge collection (thousands) of sports cards (some really old), many of them are duplicates, that he inherited from his grandpa. His idea is to sell some of the duplicates using E-Bay charity auctions in order to seed a scholarship. Then he wants to start a letter writing campaign to athletes asking them to donate cards and memorabilia.
Here is where it is backwards: He needs a cause that really moves him / calls to him.
He asked this question several months back and only got a handful of non-sequitor responses.
Any thoughts on a really good cause - especially within the homeschool community?
He wants this to be his own: so no preexisting charity suggestions, pls.
