HELP!..Need to raise MONEY..for Autism.

I'm running a half-marathon for Autism Speaks in January and I'm $550 from goal!

I need some other creative ways to raise money other than what I have already come up with.

Ideas that worked
1. Begging family
2. Using a credit card/debit card
3. Asking coworkers
4. Asking FB friends
5. Creating a donation page
6. Matching friends donations
7. Dog walking in my neighborhood

Ideas in the works
1. Gofundme (started today)
2. Bake sale (waiting on HOA approval)
3. Yard Sale (my kids are going to flip out)
4. Post up at a red light with a sign (that seems so wrong but it was a legit suggestion)
5. Part-time job in addition to my full-time job because if I don't come up with this $$$ they're coming after me! WHO is going to feed my babies?!?? ha!

Seriously though..


Any other IDEAS that we just aren't thinking of????

    Table at mall or outside/inside grocery store asking for money
    jar for money at local restaurant/business

    Most places that require this also provide some fundraising help to participants. What does "Autism Speaks" suggest?

    thank you! I hadn't thought of the jars or a table just asking for donations.

    Ask friends and family for donations in lieu of Christmas presents!
