Trying to raise money for a chariatble foundation at school. Any good ideas?

Q. Okay, we're raising money for a charitable foundation, and we need good ideas. We already have done (and can't do again):

A raffle
Bake sales
Dress down day (where we can wear whatever we want if we pay like 3 dollars, instead of wearing a uniform)

We're already thinking of doing:
A movie night in the auditorium
An after school story time for little kids

Yeah. So anything other than those things, please list 'em! I'll give best answer to the person that gives the most ideas that I actually decide to use, so list as many as you can think, even if you htink they sound stupid. Oh, and the school goes from nursery to eighth grade, so all age group related activities work! Thank you!

Answer
A 'fashion show' where the kids or teachers dress up and put on a show for the parents, you charge for entry and everybody has fun.
A talent contest same idea.
Some kind of quiz or word puzzle. Get one off the internet or make your own, then people pay to enter and have some kind of chocolates for a prize.
Bag-packing at a local supermarket: put out collection boxes and smile sweetly ;)
Sponsoring form a local company, the kids parents might be interested of they have their own business maybe?
Teachers vs students (or parents) sports event
Sponored silence
Sponsored spelling event (the kids have a sheet of words to learn, and get relatives to sponsor them. At the end they all get tested and are sponsored for the number of words they get right)
Have an all ages crafts/cooking event, then sell the spoils.

Good luck with it :)

Is it weird for a teenager to have emotional attachment to a stuffed animal?

Kiro

I'm 15, 16 in August. I have a really strong emotional attachment to one of my stuffed animals, a little white tiger. His name is Luminor. I take him with me everywhere, even to school. I carry him around and put him on the desks (I don't wanna keep him stuffed in my bag, it's mean). I talk to him and pet him all the time and whenever I'm eating or drinking something I'll feed him (except chocolate, he can't have that) and I give him baths when he gets dirty. I don't think he's real, I know he's just a stuffed animal. But I love him. He's my best friend. He even wears my lucky necklace.

I'm really protective of him. Like I said I take him everywhere. I won't leave him in the car. At my mom's wedding I had him dressed in a little tuxedo and refused to have any pictures of me without him in them. I don't like people grabbing him because they usually grab him by the head and it hurts him.

I know this is common in little kids, but shouldn't I have outgrown it by now? And I never even did this when I was younger.

(And I guess this matters) I was never abused or anything. Not sexually, physically, verbally, none of that.

How weird is this? Is there something wrong like, in my head?

Answer
It's not that strange for teenagers to still have a connection to their stuffed animals, but you do take it a little far. I'd say that what you do is strange, but not necessarily a bad thing. If it doesn't cause you any problems, what's the harm?
