Another route you might want to consider is setting up a homepage for your group on a fundraising website.
Raising support online is much simpler and more tidy than raising funds via cash or check (most sites can link donations straight to your bank account through a merchant processor). And having a group page gives you a central place to post information, photos and let people know what you do - this helps you promote your cause to friends, family and whoever else you want.
There are plenty of sites these days that help groups meet their goals - here are some good options:
First Giving (www.firstgiving.com) is a solid one. They charge about 5% on donations raised and have a simple structure to set up your page (though you may have to be a certified non-profit to register with them).
If that's the case, another option is Empowered (www.empowered.org). They process about 3.5% on donations raised, offer lots of tools to help organize/fundraise, and I know they support all small groups, regardless of non-profit status.
And you could always try to send up your own PayPal account to link to you directly, but this is a little trickier and a bit inflexible.
Good luck getting your fundraising going

Does sodium lauroyl sarcosinate cause cancer or have any negative side effects?
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate has the same initials as sodium lauryl sulfate, and the same risks.
The answer is simple - it is cheap. The sodium lauryl sulfate found in our soaps is exactly the same as you would find in a car wash or even a garage, where it is used to degrease car engines.
In the same way as it dissolves the grease on car engines, sodium lauryl sulfate also dissolves the oils on your skin, which can cause a drying effect. It is also well documented that it denatures skin proteins, which causes not only irritation, but also allows environmental contaminants easier access to the lower, sensitive layers of the skin.
Perhaps most worryingly, SLS is also absorbed into the body from skin application. Once it has been absorbed, one of the main effects of sodium lauryl sulfate is to mimic the activity of the hormone Oestrogen. This has many health implications and may be responsible for a variety of health problems from PMS and Menopausal symptoms to dropping male fertilityand increasing female cancers such as breast cancer, where oestrogen levels are known to be involved.
Can you include another person to the will?
Answer If you are the bearer of the Will you can add anyone on it or take anyone off the Will. If the person who had the Will has passed on and you would like someone in the family or a close friend of the deceased to receive monies or a portion of property then it's up the Heirs of the Will to decide that. A Will should be changed every five years or sooner if there are any changes such as adding on a person, leaving jewelry to certain people or taking someone out of the Will, not to mention if you have sold your property, home you have mentioned in your last Will. Don't forget to also have a "Living Will" if you choose not to be resucitated or taken off life support.
