Screaming Monkey Incentive

The Madison Avenue Upper Elementary School PTO in Madison, Miss., raised $23,700 to build a new outdoor classroom. Their trick to selling loads of cookie dough, pizza, and other food items to reach their goal: offering to the highest seller a stuffed monkey that screams when pressed. The monkey was outfitted with a $100 bill in its pocket.
