Club or Organization
If
you want to get your club or organization involved:
- Host a spaghetti
dinner or a pancake breakfast and invite the community to join you.
- Host a car wash and
ask the location to match what you raise.
- Ask for a second
collection at your place of worship—to support the troops and their
families.
- Partner with a flower
wholesaler and sell flowers at Mother’s Day, Valentines Day, etc.
- Ask if you can work
at your local sport team’s concession stand with a percentage of the
proceeds going to the USO.
- Ask your local bar to
guest bartend and give you part of the door fee on a slow night and you
promote it to your members and their friends.
- Host a Bowl-a-thon
and recognize the top fundraisers as well as the top bowlers, teams, etc.
- Host a Cook
Off—whether it’s chili, pies, etc.
Invite the public to pay an entry fee to be in the contest and
charge admission and/or tasting fees to those who want to come to the
event.
- Challenge your
members to come up with ways they can raise money through their businesses
and business connections—and recognize the top fundraising member.
- Hold a book
sale. Have members bring in
their old novels and set up a day to sell them. Whatever is left can be donated to a local
library.
