It's always fun to read about an unusual fundraising idea, and here's one that caught my eye recently:
Portable Playhouse, a nonprofit that visits pediatric units in hospitals and recovering women in outpatient cancer centers and helps them make their own beaded jewelry, is going for a
Guinness World Record.
They aim to string together the world's longest necklace, over two miles long. For a dollar, donors can add a bead to the strand.
And as a bonus, this project is bringing them media coverage, including the following

Philanthropy Project's website.
