Girls- I need Help starting a fundraiser...We set a date-UPDATE

I posted a few weeks ago about a friend of mine that was suddenly diagnosed with Hodgikins Lymphoma. She is 26 yrs old and has 2 children. She will be starting Chemo on Friday. I need to raise 500.00 ASAP. I have seen fundraisers on here, but i dont know how to start one. Can any one help me? Ill start a run/walk, anything to help the family.
TIA

Thank you for the suggestions.
We will be hosting a fundraiser for Nicole and her family and hopefully raise awareness about Hodgkin's Disease on Friday, July 21 at Jack's Place in Babylon Village. DIrectly across from The Babylon Train Station. The fun starts at 7pm. Raffles, prizes, drinks, and good times for a good cause.
Thank you in advance for all who attened.

I'm sorry, I don't know how to start one but wanted to wish you luck.

You should really tell her to get in contact with the social worker at the hospital they have all sorts of organization that they can get money from very quickly.

Can you organize an auction of some sort?
When my cousin was sick (before she passed away) we had a benefit, we also had a Chinese Auction with really nice gift baskets.
Restaurants & stores from the community donated gift certificates & items to put in the baskets, people wre really generous.
Also, her neighbors & my family had a garage sale & all the money went to help my cousin.
We raised a really good amount of money to help her children.
Hope this helps, I wish you & your friend the best.
