Any ideas on how to fundraise for a trip to Germany?

My German Class is taking a trip to Germany and my parents are already sending my brother to Australia (the band at our school was chosen to play at the Sydney Opera House and is one of only 5 world wide high schools playing there so this is really really cool to go). I however have a conflict that I can't go to Germany unless I come up with the money. I need ideas on how to get $350 by next February and an additional $2000 by next July. I can't get a job because baseball and school takes up pretty much all my time even in the winter because I'm working out to make the high school team.

First come up with a plan how you can make the money let's say by the end of 2008. Car washing is an option, not mine though. You can sell people's stuff on eBay and get a commission. Talk to your friends and look into your hobby - you might come with something that can $3000 richer ... after all it's just a $58 a week. May be even give a $10 lessons to younger kids who learn to play baseball (talk yo parents of kids in elementary school).

Now when you have a good plan (put it on a paper) run to your parents and tell that you have a how to make 3K and ask them to lend you the money that you will return WITH INTEREST. I don't know you parents, but they probably would not take interest but will take you a bit differently. See how the respond if they start with "yes, but..." just go on with negotiation. All you need know is to make them pay that $350 and work out the details later. It might be that by July you would be able to pay them back and make 2K. That should be your goal.

Best of luck!

well, hold an all-day car wash or something.
First get some friends together! Go to a local shop on the main street that has a hose connection and do a marathon car wash event. Make sure you have lots of soap, towels and buckets.

Then ask your parents for an advance on your car washing income.
If you can't get a job then you cannot go to Germany.
