Ideas for fundraising for 'special' teams?

Here at Ball State, I've ran into so many brick walls with funding that it's no wonder my head hurts. I decided to see if anyone had any ideas for good fundraisers... but here's the list of conditions that they have to follow (hence the brick walls...):

> If any Muncie or US business is solicited by Ball State, we can't even speak to them about donating or sponsoring.

> Classic Fundraiser: selling candy. Doesn't work here, though- we get a meal card good for an amount of money per meal, good at any time per day. If someone wants a candy bar, they get it with the money left over on their card.. so selling candy is pretty useless.

> Most types of food stuff, i.e. Gordon Food Services and Market Day, are already solicited by BSU, so those don't work.

> Selling candles, which is a good one, doesn't work, because we aren't allowed to have candles in the dorms.

> Raffles are great... but not a lot of kids have a ton of money. That, and most of the major businesses around here are already solicited, blah blah blah.

> Our high school kids (The Indiana Academy) aren't allowed to sell things during school hours... and they've got even less money than the BSU kids.

Most 'order form' fundraisers don't really work because college kids really don't have any money. These aren't the only restrictions, either, but they're the majority that I can think of.

Any ideas?
