6 Steps to a Successful Fundraising Event

1. Get Help; It takes time, energy and "people" to host a successful fundraiser, get others involved.  Recruit individuals who support our cause, volunteers who are enthusiastic and dedicated, bringing various skills to the table.

2. Brainstorm; Develop an idea for an event you can host. Here are some fundraising ideas that have been very successful in the past.

Auctions Golf fundraisers Bake Sales Fashion Shows
Sports Tournaments Car Washes Garage Sales Chicken BBQ's
Bottle & Can Drives Bingo/Casino Nights Walk-A-Thons Art Shows

3. Set Goals; Identify expected income, don't forget your expenses.  Keep in mind the lower your costs, the larger your contribution.  Divide the tasks amongst your team and prepare a check list of what needs to be done leading up to and the day of the event.

4. Enlist our help; Once your event has been approved we will be happy to offer support to your success in the following ways:

  • Guidance and input 
  • Lend use of  logo and branding 
    * ALL PRINTED MATERIALS MUST BE REVIEWED BY THE LOCAL BOYS & GIRLS CLUB COMMITTEE                 
  • Use of Promotional Material's
  • Balloons
  • Stickers
  • Posters
  • Banners
  • brochures
  • Website Promotion
  • Volunteer assistance and staff to attend your function.

5. Promotion; An event is only successful if people come to it, advertise and get the word out!  Remember the lower the expenses the more money will be raised for our wish kids. Post your event on our website, Word of  mouth, Local Media, Community based websites, Flyers, Schools/Community Groups, and Libraries.

6. The Finish; The event is over and what a success!  Now it's time to collect all the funds and thank your participants. The most important step is to thank your participants and volunteers. Let them know how much you appreciated their support and how much all your efforts raised for our community.
