YMCA volunteering

Answer in comments - anonymous is fine, or you can use OpenId if you're familiar with it (Facebook login won't work tho).

1. Any suggestions for fund raisers that you think would bring in money from parents? From the community?
2. If/when another raffle is done (whether this year or next), which businesses would you like to see donations from? What themes would you like to see for baskets?
3. One I'm considering suggesting: How would you feel about the YMCA doing a partnership with a local business where a percentage of profits for a given time frame were donated to the YMCA? (Generally, in my experience from other venues, this would be a few hours.) What local business(es) would you like to see this from?
What sorts of fund raisers would you be able/willing to volunteer to help with, or what types of resources? What sorts of volunteering? Note that these are my ideas, and I haven't checked with Robin whether all of these would be useful. For example (all of these are "potentially" and "subject to specific timing" of course!):
• Would/could you donate stuff for a raffle? Rummage sale?
• Would you be able and willing to call businesses to see if they would help with either raffle donations (when one is happening) or profit partnering (#3), if those are done? (If the YMCA supplied a business or two or three to contact, to volunteers, that is.)
• Would you be able and willing to help with administrative/paperwork/tracking related to a fundraiser, perhaps putting together lists in advance?
• Would you be able and willing to coordinate volunteers for a specific event, provided you were given a list of tasks to assign up and volunteers were contacting you?
• Would you be able and willing to help with physical setup/takedown for things that may require moving furniture or other items around in the center?
