Car Smash

When someone you know is hurting from a disease or illness, it is good to be able to get your aggressions out. You can combine that with a fundraiser to help pay for treatment or research with a Car Smash. Contact a local junk yard, automobile dealer, or auto insurance company to see if they have a car in relatively good condition (just the body and glass) that they would be willing to donate to your group. All fluids should be removed from the car as well as other hazardous materials. Allow people to take a swing at the car with a hammer for $2. Proper safety precautions must be taken such as safety glasses, protective outerwear, and a safe distance maintained by the crowd. Have paramedics on hand in case of emergency and check with your local authorities for permission and other safety tips. Contact your local rescue squad to see if they would be willing to give a Jaws of Life demonstration. This should bring in a larger crowd and more people to pay to smash the car.
