What are some effective fund raising ideas for a day care program?

I work for a day care program. Our budget has been dramatically cut and people are going to be laid off left and right. We need to do some serious fund raising to save this facility. All ideas are welcome!

The fall is a great time to do a fundraiser with candles. You can take advantage of the fact that almost everyone buys them. We use a company with a simple program with no upfront costs and made a nice profit.
