I was going to suggest baking because cooking is awesome and everyone has to admit that it's hard to pass up a brownie/cupcake/lemon bar when they're waltzing along a school highway, sidewalk, anywhere. Knocking on doors probably won't result in much money. I know I HATE it when people knock on mine, even for a good charity, but you might have some luck depending on where you live. Some towns are really supportive of their schools or full to the brim with patriotism. If you did do that, it's always best to have someone with you no matter HOW old you are, so if your boyfriend has a problem with it (and I don't blame him) he could go with you? But I must agree, baked goods would probably be the best bet. Everyone who donates gets something out of it. x)
