My sister and I used to play a computer game called Math-A-Thon. You have to choose the grade that you are in, and play math games for that grade. You can get people to sponsor you, and if you complete the entire game, the people that sponsored you give you the amount of money that they said they would. Then all of that money goes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Some people do it in their schools.
