Check with your local pizza shops. Explain to them your situation. Find the best deal (lowest pizza cost), wherein you sell pizza (or coupons to redeem one), whereas the proceeds, or portion thereof goes toward the trip. Then tie the promotion up with a marketing approach. Ex. selling pizza for non-traditional events, such as Christmas pizza, Engagement pizza, Halloween pizza, etc. Send a free pizza to your local newspaper/tv station for free publicity. Approach some organizations that have large amounts of people, ask them to support you by buying your pizza (ex. real estate brokers, teachers meeting, churches, youth group, local auto dealers, policemen, firemen, hospital, etc.

My friend in high school used to by candybars and stuff like that in bulk (try one of those warehouse places like Costco or Sams Club) and sell them to people at school for a profit. I don't know how much he made, but if you start now you could certainly supplement whatever you make with a real job.

sell yourself for hard labor and also pick a corner and invest in a tight mini skirt... if your a guy, that should be interesting, lol I am kidding... just work your butt off and try to get involved in a fundraiser. If you have any family you could ask them to donate money to help get you there. Good luck
