Perhaps a 5K or 10K would be a good fundraising idea for homecoming weekend. I directed a race here on New Year's day and we brought in $5000+ after all the expenses were taken care of.
Our race history
2002 - 125 runners, $2500
2003 - 230 runners, $4000
2004 - 390 runners, $6000 (had more sponsors)
2005 - 475 runners, $5000
These things aren't too hard to put on. I'd share my how to if somebody in Ruston wanted to do this.
