I am in California, too, but I will offer fund raising activity ideas to this posting for you.
1. Talk to several stores (including shopping malls, restaurants, movie theaters...) and see if you can get gift certificates or prizesfor a raffle. Sell raffle tickets for $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. If you have enough great prizes, people will buy tickets. Think big for these gift certificates and prizes.
You never know which companies will say yes to you and give you a gift certificate. Look for nice restaurants and nice prizes to go after. Are there any specialty gift stores near you who might offer a gift basket for your raffle? Are there any movie theatres nearby? If they give you 10 movie tickets, you can raffle off 5 pairs of tickets!
2. Have a neighborhood bake sale. You can find sales on cookies, cupcakes and cakes. I am sure that some people in your neighborhood enjoy baking. You will get some interest there.
3. Go to a store and see if they will donate bottled water for your block party. You can sell the water for $1.00/bottle If it is hot, you will sell quite a bit of water. Is there a Costco out there? Are you a member? Maybe the manager will donate some water to your cause.
4. Check with local companies to see if they want to help sponsor your block party by contributing funds for hot dogs and/or hamburgers and potato chips. If you get contributions, buy bulk products and have one or two houses with grills selling lunch. If you get corporate sponsors, be sure to make big signs thanking them for their contributions.
Just remember to publically thank anybody who helps to sponsor your block party. Make up signs thanking them for their donations and/or sponsorship.
Good luck!
