Just thought I would add some hints to the information Ian has already posted.
Three years ago my friend's 6 yr old son was killed in a hit-and-run. We started to raise money to pay a reward for any information leading to conviction of the driver.
We held a Ladies Night, and I wrote to a couple of local celebs asking if they could help in any way. Linda Henry from ITV's Bad Girls phoned me and said she would come along with five other actresses from the show and raise money by signing pics for £2 each, having fotos taken for £5 each and auctioning off scripts, and a jacket. The dearest items to go were the jacket (£300) and the last script of series 5 (£300)! So I would definitely recommend this idea for any of you trying to raise money for a good cause.
I also wrote to Sir Richard Branson, just requesting any help he could give, and within 2 months he wrote a fantastic supportive letter offering £30,000 for anyone with information leading to a conviction. Even though no-one has been convicted the pledge still stands. My point being, that until you ask, you never know what you can get!!
Good luck everybody.
