Our team has used the information from team 364, that we found in the white papers section, to host and manage a golf tournament. After all expenses, we made approximately $2,300 this year alone.

Wal-mart will match donations up to $500 for car washes during the summer months.

If it is available in your area, Entertainment and Gold-C books have an excellent return, I believe $10-15 per book sold. The books are about $35 apiece and have, literally, hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars worth of coupons in them.

Though we have never tried this ourselves, there are some groups that sell First-Aid kits door-to-door. Its an oft-overlooked item that many people are willing to purchase, simply because they need one or two. (And of course, the FIRST-First connection is great )
