Work concession stands at major ball parks
Many major ballparks have concession stands that allow fundraising groups to run them for a percentage of the profit. It may take a year or two on a waiting list to get one, but the profits can VERY lucrative. Kids generally need to be 16 years old to be behind the counter, so this may be something that parents can do.

Restaurant nights
Many restaurants will offer a percentage of their sales to the group if the group advertises the night. For example, the group will get 15% of sales on all customers on a certain date that say they are there to support the group.

Offer a service
Many kids can get together to mow lawns, help clean up garages, or do any miscellaneous tasks that people may need help with. If they know that the kids are trying to work for their club, many will be more generous with paying the kids.

Collect aluminum cans
In a small town near us, many people save their cans to donate to a local kids group. They make hundreds of dollars a year, due to the generosity of neighbors and friends. The local paper advertises (for free) the address for drop off. It's a win-win situation for many in the town.

Ask for cash donations
Ask parents for a specific cash donation, so that they or their child doesn't need to do a fundraiser. A lot of parents are open to this idea so that they can avoid what they consider to be a hassle.
