Well, in regard to A) the net is really not responsible.
I believe you can use the net to ask for help but they don't have
to respond.  As for B), Hillel is an organization under the auspices
of the B'nai B'rith.  You should turn to your local B'nai B'rith
offices for help.   The National B'nai B'rith office has a booklet
of all sorts of fund raising ideas.  Your local office should have
a copy of it or could get one for you.

BTW, if you know Ethan or Rebecca Kaplan, tell them their cousin
says hi.
