I'm very thankful that UABassoon mentioned the Starbucks awhile ago. Due to her suggestion, I contacted a local Starbucks and requested a pound for a raffle and the manager said it wasn't enough, she donated 3 one pound sacks. (We were raising funds for a Fisher House at the local veteran's hospital.) Other donated items were a pet bed that KAK made, and gift cards from local businesses... The biggest money maker was a donated massage from a friend who's a massuse (sp?).

A local fast food chain, Baja Fresh, gave us a percentage of the order cost that patrons showing our flyers spent, and they let us hold a raffle and a bake sale inside the restaurant. Between the three we raised a smidge over $600 US in one day. Do any of your local restaurants have similar fundraising policies?
