Find a person willing to donate a product at no, to low cost that is willing to donate the profits or all proceeds to your cause. (I now of a children’s book writer that may help in this department.)
Provide some sort of service –
Lawn cutting – exterior painting – snow shoveling
Go to the appropriate business in you area and say
Hey give us some tools to do this and we will advertise your company for free as part of your helping to send us to Europe With the tools we have from you we will put ads and flyers around town and ask people to hire us at a discount in order to gather up money to go
The business that gave you a few tools wins – they look really good and your providing them free public exposure
People win because they get a discounted service and you win because people will want to help someone willing to work for it
Get a job? I don’t know…seems like the logical thing to me. Need money, work for it. It’s what I had to do to take such trips.
A raffle is a good fund raiser. If you can get some nice donations such as a day at a spa, a certificate from a restaurant or something similar. You can design and make your own tickets and sell them anywhere from 1 to 5 dollars or more depending on what the prize is.
My company does a Savings card that you can sell. You sell the cards for $20 keep $10. Each card allows anyone in the country to save money at thousands of stores restaurants in their city even on the internet.
The card is really easy to sell because people get to help you out save money at the same time.
Selling the card doesn’t cost you anything. If you want to sell it, just let me know. If you’ll send me your zip code, I’ll put together a form which will show some of the discount available in your area. Then just take the form sell the cards.
Once you’ve sold for a while, you send us $10 per card sold we’ll send you the cards for you to give to people that bought them. OR if you want, you can send us $10.50 per card we’ll mail them out for you.
You keep your money up front there is no cost to get started you can started almost immediately!
Visit for more info let me know if you want to get started!
Best of luck,

There are many options out there for raising funds for your trip. Car washes, bake sales and other community events are a good way for a group of trip-takers to raise part of your trip costs and have some fun at the same time.
In addition, my company offers fundraisers specifically for individuals and groups raising funds for trips like yours. There are a few different options based on where you are from and the time of year you would like to fundraise. We can work directly with you or with the group as a whole.
It’s worth checking out to see if we can help you raise some of the money you need for your trip.
Good luck – it sounds like your fundraising efforts will help create memories that will last a lifetime!
