Okay, we're raising money for a charitable foundation, and we need good ideas. We already have done (and can't do again):
A raffle
Bake sales
Dress down day (where we can wear whatever we want if we pay like 3 dollars, instead of wearing a uniform)
We're already thinking of doing:
A movie night in the auditorium
An after school story time for little kids
Yeah. So anything other than those things, please list 'em! I'll give best answer to the person that gives the most ideas that I actually decide to use, so list as many as you can think, even if you htink they sound stupid. Oh, and the school goes from nursery to eighth grade, so all age group related activities work! Thank you!

A 'fashion show' where the kids or teachers dress up and put on a show for the parents, you charge for entry and everybody has fun.
A talent contest same idea.
Some kind of quiz or word puzzle. Get one off the internet or make your own, then people pay to enter and have some kind of chocolates for a prize.
Bag-packing at a local supermarket: put out collection boxes and smile sweetly ;)
Sponsoring form a local company, the kids parents might be interested of they have their own business maybe?
Teachers vs students (or parents) sports event
Sponored silence
Sponsored spelling event (the kids have a sheet of words to learn, and get relatives to sponsor them. At the end they all get tested and are sponsored for the number of words they get right)
Have an all ages crafts/cooking event, then sell the spoils.
Good luck with it :)

I have a better idea: Start a business instead. The kids will learn more from that than from working and then giving their money away. Let the kids keep the profits and they'll learn that their work = their income. Make the kids give it away, they learn their work = money for someone who didn't work. What a horrible message to send regardless of the well meaning intentions.

How about a school carnival or a chinese auction? We've done this in our local schools and it was a big sucess.
