Well before you recycle it maybe you should try to get someone to (re)use it. Start with eBay then if you don't get any bids, maybe you should give it to a local charity.

You could make some money from this situation. If you give it a lot of beer you may get six quid. (You may have to be English to understand this)

The only way I've seen it available around where I live (WI) is to go thru the Salvation Army.  If you go directly to an office they will let you pick which charity you would like to send your gifts to.  Another good one to try would be the Red Cross.  I know they do plenty over seas.  Good luck!

1  raffle is not legal in all nations and in the US not in all states any any forms.\n\n2.  in many states the raffle will have to have a state licence and/or permit with a bond for having it.\n\n3.  in other states it can only be done by a non profit corporation and a tax exempt group.\n\n5.  since all fo the money is not going to the non profit group, it wold be considered a for profit situation.\n\nYou may try to find a non profit group that will allow you to hold one for them, and in return for giving them all of the money, they would pay you a fee.  ( sorta works the same way but you have to have the groups approval and sponsership)\n\nWill still not be legal everywhere, so alot of disclaimers where it is only valid where legal.

Check with your local rental stores.  They may have something suitable available.  Explain your fund raising event, and offer them advertising over the weekend.  You may get a reduced price for the rental, maybe even a freebie!

Sometimes peoples willingness to help might surprise you, specially around the christmas season, but you gotta realize also that people are very untrusting nowadays, I would say to raffle rather cheap items and state that the proceeds will go to this family in need. Try to contact the media, or your local radio stations, they migth be willing to help. Hope i was of some help, Really wish you the best, i hope you do get to help out this family

Get everyone involved call your friends and neighbors to help with the benefit. Give everyone something to do. Set a date. Make poster. You need to call your local business and ask for donation and tell them what you are doing. Have your local news paper to advertise for free.  Have a raffle on something that one of the stores give you. If you can get a florist to donate a plant you could raffle it off.  Me and two of my friends had a befit for a small boy in our home town and raised over $3000.00 We used a vacated lot  and had a huge yard sale and had all kind of activities for kids and adults to do. We even had a local band to preform and Pepsi donate a drink machine. Ask the fire department and police to get involved. Ask them to let the kids look at the trucks and cars.We even got our med helicopter to land and it was a big hit. Have a bake sale. Have someone to sell hamburgers and hot dogs. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Tell the business's you will advertise their name on what ever they donated. And have fun. Good Luck

Only if they are non profit and you got a receipt. Then you could claim it if you itemize. Otherwise just wait for karma to mail you some luck and kindness down the road.

Check with your local carpet store.  They would probably be happy to donate them.  Usually when they get new samples in they sell the old ones for a minimal price, but for a school they might would help you out!

You don't say where you live or teach, but I would suggest calling a locally-owned store that sells those things and see if they would be willing to donate some or all of the items. You can try asking church groups and civic groups (Rotary, Knights of Columbus, etc.), who might be willing to help. See if the local paper would do a story on the project and what is needed (call the editor). There are a lot of generous people out there. They just need to know what you need and that you need it.\n\nGood luck!

Think about your resources...Fomer school teachers, former coworkers, friends, extended family... Start with people you know closely and work your way out to people who are more aquaintences than friends. <-- for Donations\n\nOtherwise, you could try calling a local pizza place or mcdonalds to see if they will give a % of profit from a certain time period to the cause.  You could also have a silent auction wtih donations, (they can range from gift certificates to baked goods once a month for the summer, or 3 hours of house cleaning... be creative!)

If you are still in school, try going to your schools office and asking someone whether or not is okay for you to do fundraisers in his honor.  Try selling candy, pizza kits, crafts, special pens and pencils, anything you can think of really would work.  You can also go around and ask people for a donation.  Try putting together some simple red ribbons to simbolize cancer foundation and give those to people who donate.  If you're really creative, make bracelets in the color red and sell those.  You'll soon create a fad and everyone will want one.  These ideas would also work around your neighborhood, but you'd have to put some work into that to make sure people really believe your cause and don't think that you're just trying to scam them for money!!!
