Need a little help/direction

[BobMariah]

My husband and I voluteer with an Organiztion in Minnesota called "Our Voices Matter". Its a program that helps youth ages 14 - 21 that have been affected by foster care and adoption. Last night we had a wonderful outing. Some of the volunteers and kids got to go to a Timberwolves game!

 While we were there we were talking to the program director about the Youth Empowerment Retreat that my husband and I are helping to chaperone this June. She told us that they dont have the funds they were hoping they would have to help send these kids to the retreat. There are a few of them that are paid, but so many more that arent and are on a waiting list, in hopes that they receive donations to help send them. The cost is $300 per youth.

So, to my quesion - Does anyone have any quick fund raising ideas I could try? Or possible websites or other corporations that might be interested in donating to send a youth to the retreat? my husband and I have been wracking our brains all night and just cant come up with anything we think would work. We really wish we could afford to pay for all of the kids to go, but we just can't.

Any help would be appreciated!
