Here's an idea that worked wonders for a fundraising in my town.

Let's say you want to raise $1500.00.

You need 150,000 pennies.

This is a great idea for collection cans at bake sales or any other community events. Just pennies....in these economic times, pennies are easier to give, and to receive.

Do you know anyone who has a table at a community market or a flea market that would share space with you for a few times? Great place to have a penny can.

Just publicize the idea of 150,000 pennies, and draw one of those "thermometer" things that show increments of amounts, with the total at the top.
