What are some things I can raise money for?

Question

Me and my friend across the block have been doing lemonade stands, and we've raised quite a bit of money/ We want do donate it for research for some kind of sickness. We don't really want to do cancer, because there are already a lot of people out there raising money for it. What is a bad sickness we can raise money for? Or another cause???

Answer 1

Think about how you can help your OWN community first. What about your local animal shelter?  Ours always needs food, dishes, etc.

You could also have a yard sale (It's really fun if you get a lot of people to donate, especially when the stuff is really CLEAN and nice - like clothes or bigger items) - if people know your cause, they are more likely to buy something, too.

Oh, and if you have a yard sale and you have a lot of little toys, you can put four or five nice ones in little paper bags and sell them as "grab bags" (be sure to label them "boy" "girl" or "boy or girl") - if you fill them up, you can sell them for 75 cents or a dollar.
