you could try doing a music benefit, with raffles or silent auctions.. all proceeds go to the opera house..

We have raised mega dollars doing that for various families that needed help with medical bills after a death or medical issues.

Just have to get people to donate things and time that would be sought after for prizes. Good ones are like Hair or day spa type places with gift cards for services, jewelry, electronics (some places will donate for things like that)

Best of luck
