Please help me find cheaper.

I'd be more worried about the cost of consumables.
Try to find someone who'll supply at cost and exchange for having branding on the photos or a flyer included in each envelope when people pick them up.
They might let you buy a larger quantity with an agreement to accept returns and refund any that haven't been opened. Explain it's a charity event and see what works. You'll find places that aren't chains are easier to deal with as you can often speak to the owner directly and put your case forward.
Remember, they're running a business and probably get asked for donations on a regular basis. Make your pitch from a "what's in it for me" view. They might not make any money, but they may get some near-free brand exposure.
