I have been invited to go to the people to people soccer cup for years but i could never afford it. My parents said that if i can raise the money then i can go, but that’s $6000 i don’t have. Does anybody have in ideas that could help me? I live in the nashville area so if it involves a store i would prefer it be in that area. Any ideas are welcome though. Please and Thank you.

Since that is such a large sum of money for an individual to raise, you will probably need to use multiple fundraisers and ways to earn the money you need.
Divide the amount of money you need by the time in weeks or months you have to set goals for yourself and then develop a plan to earn the amount you need each week to reach your goal.
First let your family, friends and neighbors know what you are trying to do. Ask them if they know anyone who needs odd jobs done like babysitting, yard work, shoveling snow, washing cars, petsitting or housesitting etc.
Start a blog about your fundraising efforts and invite everyone you know to read about your progress to publicize your efforts and suggest more ideas.
Let everyone know who traditionally gives you a gift for Christmas or if you have a birthday coming up that you would appreciate money toward your trip as a gift this year.
To get your fundraising efforts off to a good start, the fall is a great time to sell candles or other holiday products. I have included a link to a website with a fundraising program that I’ve used that might work for you.
You can probably also find some other fundraising programs with other products to appeal to as many different people as possible to help fund your trip.
I hope you find ways to make your trip happen!
