New Philanthropy fundraiser ideas needed!!!

[WCUphimuDIVA]

I was HOPING that some of you could help me out. My chapter is in desperate need of a NEW annual fundraiser for CMN. Each chapter on our campus has one BIG event each year to raise money for their philanthropy, we were doing a fashion show and at first it was really working and raised money, but recently is hasn' t been as succesful. We aren't getting the participation from other chapters, so we're not raising the money. It's also hard because a lot of companies aren't so willing to let us borrow their merchandise.

Another event we are starting is our Miracle Ball, which I think has the potential to be more successful, but as a greek community, our school has dance marathon which is very similar. We usually do ur big event in the spring and I am realy looking for ideas and guidance on how to make any new activity successful. Y'all can email me if thats easier at auperjes7@hotmail.com.

Thank you, thank you so much!! Our chapter is only 3 years old on our campus so we're still trying to "prove" ourselves to the greek system. (Newcomers aren't always greeted with a smile and hug...)....
