Raising Money and Awareness Through Fundraising

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you may feel drawn to donating to the cause.  Fundraising events are not only used to gain publicity, but also to raise money for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure.  Donating in itself is helpful no matter what the amount, but if you feel impelled to host your own fundraising event, it can be a rewarding experience.  If you’re interested in renting a gala-fundraiser facility, Life the Place to Be has event spaces available.  Below are a couple of fundraiser events that can be held in our event spaces.

 

Raffle Night

Contact your local businesses to see if they want to donate to your cause; many businesses will donate something to market their business.  After people in your community purchase raffle tickets, host a raffle night for your guests to join.

 

Silent Auction

Ask people in your community, local businesses, and people to donate gift cards, events, or anything worth selling for your cause.  Afterwards, host a silent auction for people to bid on the items.

 

Dinner Night

During a dinner party, there are two options you can do to raise money.  You can have a set price for your guests to pay per plate, or you can let them choose how much they want to donate.  Check with local businesses to see if they will donate to the cause by catering this event for free or for a discounted price.

 

Talent Show

Put together a talent show and sell tickets to members in your community.
