Hi all : ) I am looking for some interesting ideas for a fundraiser. My 10 month old daughter passed away from SIDS on May 2, 2006. I found that involving myself with SIDS related events, and trying to start my own, is helping me through the grieving process and to remember my baby girl. So far I've come up with the idea of a beef and beer, which is in the works, but I'd like some other ideas that could be executed quicker than planning a full blown-out gathering. I recently heard that the SIDS Foundation are getting that much closer to finding the cause for SIDS and I'm hoping that if enough money is raised, a cause, followed by a cure, will be in the near future, hopefully before my time on earth is done. Thank you for all of your help and advice and I look forward to your answers : )

There are always the idea's of gatherings.....here is one that we have used.....ask your neighbors for donations of there old clothing and household things to have a sort of garage sale to raise money for SIDS or you can do a couple gift baskets and sale to the highest bidder. There are so many cheap ways to put fun raisers together it is a matter to inform people so that you can provided a date and time of the fund raiser. Good luck to you and I am sorry for your lose...my the angels continue to watch over you and your family.

I have been doing fundraisers for local schools through my website. I let each school pick a block of time, usually about a month and they promote my site to the parents, faculty, etc. Then, 100% of my retail profit for that month goes to the school.
I'd be willing to do something like that for your cause if you like. There is no fee, all you do is promote the website to your colleagues and associates, anyone you can think of. Then, at the end of the month, I print a webstats report that shows all retail and commissions. 100% of the retail amount goes to your cause.
Check out my website to see if you'd be interested.

Since Christmas is approaching, how about making some decorations or stockings and selling them. Perhaps baking some holiday cookies and selling them as well. Maybe you may ask your local community center if it would be possible to hold a dance to benefit SIDS.

Hi,
This answer isn't really an answer. A few days ago, you'd answered one of my questions, for which I ranked you best answer (since it was). Please, look at your best answers, since I'd left you a message in my comment. Thanks for your time!
