Concert

Look for an arena and talk with a local band to organise a concert. Have tickets for it and ask your volunteers to spread the word. You could raise some funds selling the tickets. Apart from it before the start of the concert, once the audience settles in, educate them about your cause. Tell them how their funds are going to make a difference.
