Answer 1

One really great idea to raise money is to use an auction. You already have a letter, take it to as many stores, boutiques, restaurants, and so on. Ask them to donate something and hold an auction in the end. Restaurants and other places who cannot donate actual products can donate coupons for free dinners, or even sponsor your actual auction by supplying food.  You could raise a lot of money this way, just be sure to explain what it is you are raising money for.

Answer 2

Write to local business and tie the personal aspect of this disease and how it has affected your family and what you can do with their donations.  Get the addresses and phone numbers out of the phonebook. Call these business to find out a point of contact to send your letter to and mail it to them then in a few day call that person and see if they are interested in your cause.  Also try you local service organizations like the Optimist club, Lions club, Elks club, Masons, and there are many more.   Good Luck.
