There are few things in the world more glamorous than Oscar Night with celebrities dressed to the nines in couture gowns, dripping in jewels. Bring a touch of that class and Hollywood’s Golden Night to your town! Host your own Oscar Night America fundraiser party in your town! More
This is a perfect add-on fundraiser for a charity golf event. It can also be held at a football field, soccer field, or any other open field during another fundraising event. Your group has the potential to raise up to $40,000 with this fundraiser. More
Synopsis:Have people from various ethnic origins cook traditional foods, and then charge the public admission to the international dinner.
Place: This can be held at a large church fellowship hall, community events center, expo center, hotel ballroom or other large building that would give you a reduced rate or let you use it for free. If you pick a weeknight, you will probably have better luck, too, with both the free building and with the chefs. More
Is this happening to you? Your special fundraising dinner is in the planning process. You may have a few ideas for entertainment for the event or ideas for what local politicians and donors to invite, but when it comes to decorating, you’re feeling lost. Of course, you could hire a professional decorator to turn that bland event location into something worthy of a special dinner, but that cuts into your profits for the event. Prom decoration catalogs may seem useful at this point, but you probably don’t want to spend $500 for a ‘water fountain’ made from corrugated bulletin board material with aluminum foil ‘water’ and construction paper ‘lily pads’.
If you are currently staring at a blank piece of paper with no ideas for a theme or how to decorate for the event, then take a look at these ideas for some inspiration! More
A special dinner is held where people purchase a $100 ticket for a reverse raffle where the last person standing wins $10,000!
Hosting the Dinner
This can be a great night of excitement and entertainment! Host a special dinner event where the ticket price is a moderate amount, around $25 to $40 per plate. You don’t want it too high so that you eliminate the chance of people buying their $100 ticket for the $10,000! You’ll need at least 100 people to buy a ticket so you can cover the cost of the grand prize amount. Remind people that they can join together to purchase a ticket, gathering 5 friends together at $20 each, and they agree to split the winnings. More
Synopsis
Create a food sampling extravaganza where people will sample various ethnic dishes prepared by local restaurants and caterers. Dishes will be cuisine specialties from around the world! All money raised will go to support your group’s spay and neuter funds, hopefully to match at least 80 spays. This event can be held at a local hotel ballroom, your community civic center, or another larger establishment, with the room fees hopefully donated. More
