    Never thought to ask the college sports teams. Thanks for that idea! Most we've ever gotten from our pro-teams is like $50 worth of SWAG, if anything. We've gotten lucky that our families have donated tickets though so that's nice. One was neighbors with a major football star and got us signed stuff a few years in a row too.

    I sent requests to the closest to universities and both sent me tickets to football game in less than a week! Definitely worth checking into.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I started looking a few up and they look to be promising.

    You're welcome! Some of our local college teams are more popular than the pro teams.

    I can't remember your location, but PA near Philly? we're right exactly an hour each way in W/E direction to Philly and NYC, as well an hour to many shore towns. Connections to behind the scenes of a tour at popular museums in either or both cities have been hot items, as well tickets/items/beach badges in any of popular shore towns are always popular.

    Also many parents around here have career connections as a dentist, pro team, judicial system, state house, and Pharma for behind the scenes tour can be something different too.

    That reminds me- we contacted our city’s mayor, a councilman and the city’s police department. All came through with amazing “day with...” packages. The police department especially went above and beyond! It was awesome!!!

    We did a police ride to school for our PTA auction last year. It was a huge hit!!! We have also asked our high school to provide special experiences. Tuition for a drill team dance clinic, bat boy opportunity for a baseball game etc.
