Right. Good luck! People don't give stuff like that away because they are nice - they give that stuff away in return for the promotion they get out of it. I don't think the market your battle of the bands will attract would justify them giving you any more than a few t-shirts, maybe.

Not sure what kind of "freebie" you're looking for but check out www.freecycle.com.  This is basically an open forum (that you register for free for) where people post items they want to get rid of (or find somewhere) and you can get in touch with these people through the site.  You can find some really random stuff.

Fake lotto tickets are the only thing that really come to mind.  I would google "gag gifts" and I think you will get so many ideas the hard part will be chosing just a couple.

Contact local businesses.  They might donate when they upgrade their equipment.

I would imagine that you must apply for a raffle permit. You have to in MANY jurisdictions. Your Chamber of Commerce will be able to tell you.

no because we pay a fortune for our access to these things - why should we give it away free to a competitor?\n\nAnyway, my best suggestion is to form a group that shares a sub to these things: I know of several. I'm in one group myself (not for Response source but similar PR tool).

Freecycle is a great resource.  I have seen computers and larger things given away for free on there.\n\nJust go to yahoo groups and search for freecycle and look for a group near you.\n\nGood luck :-)

Spaghetti dinners, crab feeds, pancake breakfasts, car washes, catalog sales, candy sales, dances, silent auction, raffle tickets..etc.\n\nYou probably wont be able to raise $5000 each in one event, you will more than likely need to plan to have a series of planned events (dinners/breakfasts) and ongoing events (catalog sales,candy sales,bake sales)

You can look up fundraising on the net and find lots of companies that are willing to help you sell their stuff. Also, many direct sales companies, like Avon, have a fundraising catalog you can sell from, giving you a portion of the sales. Of course, there's always the time honored ones like bake sales, brat & hot dog sales, car washes, garage sales, auctions, golf events, walks & rides (for miles traveled), raffles and other such activities. You can put cans out at several businesses, with your particular event listed on the side. Hold a spaghetti, chili, chicken, steak, soup, salad, or other such dinner. I belong to Habitat For Humanity and I'm on the fundraising committee. We're looking for new ideas, because we've done all the above ideas. They're good, but we're always looking for something unique, that will get people's attention. We do something called Shanty Town, where everyone goes around getting pledges to sleep in a cardboard box overnight. They create whatever kind of box they want, decorating it and coming up with themes or whatever. We've turned it into a real festival, with rides and games, music & food. This was our third year and we raised over $12,000...and in a rural community too!. Being creative is important, because there are hundreds of other organizations trying to do the same thing. Hope it all works out for you. <*)))><
