14. How we paid for the panels 1: Each High School will conduct a cash drive. Typical cash drive activities from the past include: 1. Setting out buckets for voluntary donations 2. Teachers agreeing to pie in the face, outrageous haircuts, ugly sweaters, etc. if their students raise enough money 3. Students who raise enough money get to compete in fun activities (twinkie eating contests, beard growing contests, etc.) 2: Collaboration with local businesses 3: Seek funding from foundations and service organizations 4: Appealing to individual community members
