Q: Help Me Think
asked by: ThriftyGal on November 15th, 2007

I am doing this course for school, it's called peer tutoring. Basically I go into a younger grade class and help the kids every day. I do it in the help center last period of the day, which is where they send the bad kids and the kids that are having trouble with their work.

Another part of the course is that we have to pick an organization within the community that we are passionate about and raise awareness and funds for it. I picked our humane society, so I have to set up a meeting with the director there and set up my fundraisers, or whatever I decide to do for them.

The thing is, I cannot think of any fundraiser ideas. The ones I have is to raise awareness within the school, and get some students to help me run a bake sale and a lunch for the students and teacher and donate that money. I think this is a pretty dry idea though, and would like to do something "bigger".

Could you guys please help me with ideas for either raising awareness or funds? One of the things that limit this is that it's winter here, so it's too cold to have an outdoor event.

how about a concert? check out some local bands and see if they're into the cause and would perform for free. they could make money for themselves by selling their goods after the show.

oh, and since it's for the humane society you could have something where people bring pet food and get $1 off admission or something like that.

Do a pet walk? Since it's for an animal shelter, I think you should do something involving animals.

That's a good idea! I could use my drawings. Like have a draw and then draw a portrait of whoever wins pet.

Okay, great idea! I should of thought about that since Nathan is in a band. They would (probably) do that! I actually don't know where the money they make normally goes, I will ask him tonight.

If anyone wants to see Nathan's band it's on youtube, haha, I'm actually pretty embarrassed of it. Man that was a bad thing to say. No one tell him!

I thought of that, but it's winter and no one wants to go outside.

Well.. I don't want to.

I wish I could help you Tanya, i think you're amazing.

I was thinking of something like this, it's kind of the same, but not. You know how I brought up how mad I am at people because they take kittens and puppies and take them to the highway where I drive to work everyday & just leave them? Well I went to work yesterday and I kid you not, three more dead kittens. It makes me so sad and I hate it, I want to do something but I don't know how!!!! I wish I could like.. put up a sign *BRING THEM TO ME!! phone number here* lol

Yeah it's horrible, next time I'm by myself I am stopping if I see a live one, my mom won't let me because she doesn't want anymore cats.

I wish I had good ideas for you, but it looks like the people up there have already given you pretty good ones, I wish I could help you with them! Too bad you're so far away.

Thats so sad people dump animals like that. I couldnt not stop and get them. You could drop them off outside a no-kill shelter in a safe pet carrier with a warm blanket inside for them. Puppies and kittens find new homes quicker than older animals. Rescue them! Sad
