any ideas??
Cam and I are exploring fundraising ideas for our adoption. So far we've thought about selling our autographs, but I don't know. ;) We have considered having a spaghetti super and silent auction or something. The estimated cost is around $25,000.00. There's a tax credit but it expires at the end of 2010, which we probably won't be able to take advantage of UNLESS it is extended which would be fabulous. There are also several adoption grants, which will apply for, but I'm not sure we'll qualify or get any. We know God will provide! We're just trying to be creative and come up with some ideas... got any ideas for us?

garage sales did awesome for us. Our friends and families donated their stuff and we made over $1500!
We also did a bowling fundraiser where the bowling alley only charged $1 per game and we charged everyone $30 to bowl 3 games and then fed them pizza afterwards. We made over $700 on that event.
We handed out baby bottles and people filled them with spare change which averaged 25-30 dollars per bottle.
I have heard people have had good luck with spaghetti feeds and stuff we just haven't done that yet.
Good luck with the fundraising :)
My friend, Gayla, that I told you about had a garage sale. It was a multi-family sale. Our friend, Molly, wouldn't let people talk her down on anything because it was for the adoption. I think they raised somewhere around $2500-$3000.
the silent auction sounds like a good idea too. i bet you could get lots of people to donate items to auction off. i would donate!!!
Spaghetti dinner and silent auction are a great idea. Seems to be a hit for fundraising around here. What about making a page on facebook for friends and family to make donations? I know you can set up a widget on your blog for donations.
just did a post about successful children and thought of you; check it out!
