Heh...I'm just full of 'em....
A FREE car wash. (weather permitting, of course) Before the date of the carwash, have all the fund raisers get people to sign up to pledge a certain amount of money per car that gets washed that day. (ie: ten cents per car) (Have specific forms printed up for them to sign up on) Then, on the day of the wash...everyone gets their car washed for FREE (which is a big draw!)...but they will often donate to the cause as well.And have a form there at the wash that tracks each car and have the driver sign the form to prove the count. Then go back and collect the pledges.
KISS THE PIG .... This is fun if you actually have access to a baby pig...but you can make up any "event" you want...from kissing some animal to shaving a head, to a pie in the face, to wearing a goofy costume...whatever you can get your faculty to agree to. You get several members of the faculty to agree to be a candidate for "kiss the pig" (the more popular the faculty member, the better!)...then set up fund raising jars with each member's picture/name on it. Over the next couple of weeks, people vote with their money...whoever's jar has the most cash has to "kiss the pig". To add a twist...the person with the highest $'s can "buy out" by matching the funds in their jar...then they don't have to "kiss" anything, but the next highest person does..unless they buy out, etc. If all the candidates match their funds, it goes back to the top again until someone gives in. Plan on having the "event" at a function like a pep rally or other scheduled assembly that includes the whole school with the voting weeks leading right up to that day. Jars should be opaque so member's can't tell who might be ahead.
