Fundraising ideas for a Middle school trip?

My 14 year old son is headed to Washington DC next summer, to the tune of $1,900 plus spending money. We are going to write letters to everyone we know letting them know that he is available to do odd jobs for money. Do you have any other ideas?

Spaghetti dinner… you can charge $10+/person and make a good bit of money. Pasta is cheap. I did those at my church for fundraising the down payment on a building. It generated at least $1000 dollars feeding about 110 ppl each dinner. We could only fit 110 into the rec room of the church. (later we asked for silent auction donations, and had a silent auction at each dinner, which brought in another $300-400.)

Car Wash… good for a couple hundred bucks on a Saturday.

I think what you are doing is great. We have had way too much popcorn, cheesecakes, gift wrap . . . you know what I mean! If he has relatives who regularly give him a gift at Christmas or birthdays, if/when they ask what he would like, tell them he could use a check he can put toward this trip, I know our family would be happy to help one of our kids.
