I was recently asked by a local university's powerlifting coach for help in coming up with a fundraiser to help the team raise money for Nationals. He said he's looking for new ideas that would not only help raise the funds, but at the same time generate some good exposure for the team and possibly get some new recruits out of it. Every semester they usually do the same thing, have a meet and sell plate lunches. He wants something new. He also wants to include "normal" people in the event so that people don't think that you have to be a weightlifting freak to get on the team. So there is the quandry. Any ideas on something that could be put together and promoted by late October?

How about lining up with the womens cheerleaders/dance team or Hooters and doing a car wash...

For new recruits why not advertise with flyers in the gyms or common areas of dorms, etc, etc, and make it strategic?

Frame Carry where people can pledge by distance. Have a very light frame for newbee's to carry. Hold the event in a very public place.
