Participants skip lunch and have juice and a small snack instead.

Money saved on the skipped meal is given to NPH USA and helps provide the children of NPH with three daily meals!
Discuss this idea with the school principal. Charge $1 or more per student.
Organize a tournament for the game of your choice, such as tennis, and collect an entry fee.
