Host a karaoke night for your friends, classmates, or coworkers. In the spirit of a good cause and good fun, dare someone to
sing a specific song and sponsor your dare with $5. The person that's been dared can either sing the requested song or pay
an additional $10 to "pass the dare" to the next person. Each time the dare is passed, the amount
doubles. If you've ever wanted to hear your boss sing "Proud Mary," this may be your chance!

Are your closets overflowing? Is there a jamboree of junk under your bed? Now's the perfect time to host a garage, yard,
or sidewalk sale. Post a sign that says the proceeds are going to AIDS Walk New York and passersby
will be more inclined to stop and shop.

Buy a dozen roses or daffodils and display them in a vase on your desk. Then sell each blossom for AIDS Walk New York.

Charge your friends $10 for each suggestion of a tattoo design to be placed on yourself and another $10 for suggestions on
where the tattoo should go. A few days before AIDS Walk, have a drawing to reveal the tattoo design
and placement. Kids, don't try this one without parental permission!

Do you and your friends have special skills, such as resume revisions, organizing closets, house cleaning, painting furniture
or rooms, haircuts, manicures, knitting, or cooking? Well then, hold a Special Skills Auction at
