I was just appointed as fundraiser chair so I've been trying to come up with fundraisers
If you've had been to / helped out or held any amazingly successful/unique fundraisers post up!

Fundraiser chair of what organization? I used to be the fundraiser chair of my fraternity. If this is a student org, I'd be able to list a large number of opportunities.

How bout a brothel? That'll raise some MAJOR funds...and other things. And you can advertise to the old guys taking Viagra.

Easy money to be made in college would be to work at the concession stands at sporting events. Most schools invite student organizations to participate. They also offer jobs as ushers for special events and alumni dinners. Everyone will be able to wear their letters to get the good name out, watch the game for free, get free food, and you make decent money. Other fraternities have done the credit card deal where you get kids to sign up for the card on the spot. As far as in-house event you could hold, casino night is a good idea though most fraternities hold this as philanthropy events, with proceeds to be donated to some well-known charity.

This would help or at least what type of organization. Also a ballpark figure of how much you're looking to raise.
