Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if you have any ideas for this project that I'm trying to start up: What I want to do is purchase about 10 museum-quality replica skulls of Ice Age mammals. The idea is to use these in schools, libraries and other venues for the purpose of educating people. I like to wonder what a 3rd grader would say if he saw a Saber tooth cat skull sitting in his classroom.

The Problem: Due to this wonderful economy, I personally can't afford these skulls.

The Solution...?: I'd like to start a fundraiser, so I could make these purchases. Once I get to that point, I can let teachers borrow the skulls whenever they want. I do have some fundraisers started on a website called Pledgie, but the problem is getting people to go there.

One idea I had was to rent the skulls out. That way they would be a source of revenue, and I could potentially pay back the donors.

Any ideas? Thanks, Dave
