Fundraiser ideas on a snowy day

 Fundraiser Ideas on a Snowy Day

Currently I am snowed in at a relative's house so I thought that I would spend some time trying to push my fundraiser and list out some keys to having a successful fundraiser! If you are around January 25th, you should come to Woodland Lanes in Livonia for some fun and exciting bowling! We are going to have a 50/50 raffle and a "silent auction" where you can buy tickets and use them to try and win the gifts you want the most.
 
 

 5 Key Ideas For Your Fundraiser

When trying to put together a fund raiser here are a 5 tips to keep in mind:
 
  1. Advertise it anyway you can (Facebook, flyers, blogging;), and remember to tell everyone). As one blogger put it, "Be shameless when it comes to putting yourself out there."
  2. Setting a date can sometimes be the hardest part of organizing a fundraiser, make a secure date as quickly as possible and than everything else will fall in place
  3. Set a goal for your fundraiser. Is the fundraiser's main mission to get publicity, make money, reach out to other organizations, or a combination of different goals
  4. Set a clear purpose for your fundraiser, let people know exactly why they need to be charitable
  5. Take a list of donors names and addresses at the fundraiser and send them Thank You letters to let them know they will were noticed and that you appreciate them
