Is there any kind of entertainment near where you live? (i.e. music shows, amusment parks, resturants, etc.) Not to give away where we live, but Branson, MO, is within driving distance for us. I helped with a benefit a few years ago and contacted several of the business up there. Many of the food establishments were willing to give, but the ones like "Dixie Stampede" and "The Jim Stafford Show" only gave to those that had tax ID numbers. If your business does, it might be something to look into. You could then raffle, or auction, them off. People are willing to give if there is a chance they could win something. And if it's some place that they really like to go to, they are willing to bid higher than they usually would. We even had donated items that people bid on. We raised a couple thousand dollars and we are a very small community. Just a suggestion.
