If you are a movie buff…
Find a place in your community to host your event. The location must have a flat surface where you can project the movie (i.e. the side of a building, such as a school, church, barn, or warehouse, might work well). People can watch the movie from their cars in the parking lot or from the lawn. Advertise locally. Be sure your flyers explain why you are fundraising, your motivations to study abroad, and details about AFS. Accept donations only; charging admission is a violation of movie copyright law. Consider also selling some classic movie snacks (i.e. popcorn, candy, soda, etc.) to increase the total amount of money you raise.
