I have one thing that I know works. It is a TON of work, but well worth it in the end if done correctly. I have made anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000 in a single night.

Poker Tournament

The way it works is you make the buy-in for the tournament anywhere from $50 to $100 and require each of your ladies to sell two buy-ins. If players lose all their chips in the first 2 hours of the event they can rebuy the same amount of chips for half the original price.

You can even hire companies to come in a run the event for you (dealers, tables, chips, etc)

Have a local business donate a prize or multiple prizes for the winners. I know best buy often sponsors events like this and will donate big screen tv's, ipods, etc.

Hire a 3rd party vendor to come in and sell alcohol.

While the tournament is playing have a silent auction running as well. You can get people or companies to donate smaller items for this. A raffle or 50-50 work great too.

Have some kind of presentation or slide show running throughout the tournament to show the people who they are helping out by playing.

Hopefully this helps.
