How about going to an old folks home, hospital, orphanage etc. and reconditioning an old piano. Have a local TV station film you removing the piano and returning it all spiffied up. Get some local sponsors (car dealers, restaurants, etc.) to sponsor the new keyboard, new strings, finishing and other parts. When you return the piano, you can give a talk and concert for the members. TV stations would love this type of story. You'd get a lot of free, positive publicity.
