I would recommend meeting with different local business, or writing letters to them explaining what you are raising money for. Local business are a better place to look for help because they are more likely to sponsor things that are in their neighboor. Far as corporate sponsorship I would not recommend it because they recieve a lot of request and it would take a long time to recieve any sporing. Setting up at a craft fair is a good idea. Some of the craft planner will wave the fee. Selling candy like suckers can be good because at craft fair most parents bring kids and there is not much their for the kids. This can also be a good outlet for donates from a community and getting the word out. Newspapers will sometimes publish article that can help get the word out, if you contact the newspaper they might put something in the newspaper about it and this can help get donations.<br><b>References : </b><br> I traveled as a student ambassador when I was a couple years back, and I had to do a lot of fundrasing.
