To collect 100 reusable artificial limbs for 100 amputees for the Sierra Leone Disability Soccer Team. The teams are made up not only of amputees but also polio soccer players. Your Generosity Will Change A Life!
Inspired photography to make some good happen in the world. In this project an Awesome Fest team sets up an area in a public park for the afternoon and works with a pro photographer to photograph people with their pets. For a small donation ($10-$20), people can have professional photos taken of their pets, which they can then download off of a website. Donations benefit an animal shelter in the Seattle Metro area.
The project calls for some inspired assistants to hustle for the event day of and some publicity to have this make as much happiness for park goers and good for an animal shelter happen as possible. Bonus points for talent able to rally media coverage.

So there'll be a grab bag of projects for teams to choose from/be inspired by in case creating one from scratch isn't immediately obvious.
What kind of projects? Try a few of these sample ideas on for size:
