Depends, something of that nature could quickly resemble a faux-tabletop session. This again comes to events being a lot of effort if they don't naturally progress without input from someone in the GM role. That's the wide allure of balls and auctions and the sort - All you need to do is set things in motion, then tell people to stop at intervals.
The Murder Mystery sounds like a lot of fun, though. I imagine with a good group it would be pretty awesome matching wits and catching scoundrels, or perhaps just getting away with murder.
The talk show idea (that I've already prodded someone about) could be pretty neat too, as long as it didn't turn into one clique's soap box.
IC chocobo races are certainly a possibility. Station people at the Sultan Tree, one at the Aetheryte and one near the zoneline and force people to open trade windows at each one, then see who returns fastest to the finish line. Like a checkpoint system. Let people bet on themselves and increase the bet between rounds? "10k says I hit all three checkpoints first."
Of course, none of these will make money, which is also not the point of a Fundraising idea. If people want to profit from RP...
Well, that's difficult outside of the already-successful angles. You can't auction stuff off because the AH exists. You can't charge a premium for entry and split a pot (anyone want to run a Grindstone night where you all need to pony up 200k to enter? I thought as much).
Ultimately, these are two different discussions.
