How to start a fundraiser for charity? (Houston: stores, bars)

Why doesn't someone have like a show here in Houston where they roll up frying pans, bend steel bars, break baseball bats, and tear phone books and decks of cards to raise money for like that houston food bank or something its easy to do these things. Rolling a frying pan is just a little harder than tearing a phone book.

Certainly much better than throwing your sandwich at me.

A lot of local grocery stores donate stuff to the food banks. Go ahead and do it. But sounds like not many people will show up if you do it like this. You gotta do something meaningful.

are you asking theoretically, or would you really like to help with fundraising for a good cause? I serve on the board of a non-profit health center that serves everyone, regardless of ability to pay. We're always interested in community input and participation re: fundraising

It is meanging full because it would be entertaining to young kids and maybe their parents. Young kids are fanicated with things like superheros and stuff and doing things like this that takes tremendous strength entertains them. It could be like a competition with the people doing it but the real winners are the kids.
