Try contacting a children's museum near you and see if they have a science/technology day. Those seem to go over well with teams.

I'm not sure about your area, but also look out for any kind of comic con or something similar. We had a team from our state go to a local comic con and it was a huge success.

Other things you could do is maybe hold some sort of competition. Like Alan said, hold a dodgeball tournament and have the participants pay a dollar or two, or bring in canned goods and donate whatever is collected. It's a good way to spend a two hours or so plus you can give back some.
