Start at the high school - talk to the principal and volleyball coach. If you can get them on board it will start to come together. Get some local businesses to offer prizes for the winning teams. Most of the time more money is really raised from site fundraisers like raffles, concessions and auctions. Check to see if raffles are legal in your area and if so that will add a lot of revenue. here are some other links that might help: <a href="http://stepbystepfundraising.com/spaghetti-dinner-fundraiser/">Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser</a> for a Special Little Girl - raised a lot through auctions and raffles, not just the dinner. <a href="http://stepbystepfundraising.com/how-to-organize-a-raffle-fundraiser/">How to Organize a Raffle</a> Hi Elizabeth, that is wonderful that you would like to help your nephew and his family.

My heart goes out to you and your family. My nephew was involved in the Marion Central car accident back on October 26th. He was one of two out of 4 that survived. He was air lifted to Lutherean General where he spent 7 weeksin an induced coma. He is now at a rehab center but has yet to eat or talk. I wanted my children (his cousins) to be involved in a fund raiser that would be kid and family orientated. My daughter 8th grade just started at Sky High and is playing the position your daughter did on the rec league. I was thinking of a volleyball fundraiser where we could have different leagues, ages, etc. I think I have 2 sponsors for food and am hoping I could get the Cary Grove High School where my other 2 children attend to donate the gym and cafeteria. I just dont know where to start. I was hoping to host this in April-after Spring Break and before graduation. I would welcome any ideas you may have. My Godson is a sweet boy, very kind and caring and a friend to all. the medical expenses are climbing daily. I would love to be able to give my godson, and my brother's family a little help from the Community. I already have a theme; CARY CARES FOR WILLIAM-please let me know how to get started. thanks Elizabeth Schuh Ms. Beal- I found your article on the web. My heart goes out to you and your family.
