A number of good causes offer a "lock up" program to enlist members of the community in raising funds. The idea is to publicize a mock arrest and jailing (though you may really be handcuffed and driven to the local jail in a police car) in exchange for "bail" (contributions to the cause.) The "arrestee" then contacts the members of their own network to solicit for a set amount of funds in return for their freedom. Once bail has been made, you're set free. Finally, if you can't be away from your job, there's often a "house arrest" option. Sign yourself up and publicize it as widely as you can. You're gaining a life experience, a wonderful story and good karma.
