The school had hoped to raise $10,000 to $30,000. An internet campaign to donate a few bucks seems to be in order:
"Organizers had planned to mail invitations to more than 20,000 American Girl doll owners in a wide region. They had hoped to raise at least $10,000 - and perhaps $30,000 or more - through ticket and raffle sales, business sponsorships, and a percentage of sales of American Girl's dolls, books, clothes and other products, said the event's co-chairwomen, Marisa Beffel of Brookfield and Catherine Valentyn of the town of Brookfield."

Freepers could get behind something like this and see that the school's wildest goals are met...
