We are trying to find fundraising ideas for my son who's on IV abx & the insurance co. won't pay.

He's been on IV for over 1 yr now & is finally getting better so we don't want to stop treatment before he has no more symptoms.

We had an idea for selling a homemade advertising product to businesses & organizations that were personalized to their designs, but a quick search of patents showed someone has already patented that idea.

We're a little blue - we were all set to begin production (we put the cart before the horse!)

We don't just want to beg for money - We want to provide a product in exchange. Does anybody have a good idea for this kind of use? Keep in mind - we're not a charitable organization. Thanks for any tips.

Set up a notforprofit entity and raffle something like a hybrid vehicle.

Ask aquaintences to ask around to find mucisians to do a performance fundraiser.

Purchase some money savings product to resell at a slight profit.

Set up an amazon page so that books bought through it send some small portion of money to you, then send an email with the link to everyone you know.

Set up a regular web page with your story and email it all over the universe.

Go to http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/LymeAidPkg.doc

to apply for financial aid (max $1000, but still).
