We have finally embarked on the month dedicated to giving thanks for all of the wonderful things we have been blessed with.. what better way to celebrate our gratitude than to give to those who are in need of many of the things that we even take for granted? A fundraiser party is a fun and easy way to gather your friends together for a cause that is close to your heart. Follow these 3 tips suggested by CherylStyle.com for a successful fundraiser party:
1. Ask guests to bring a gift
Holidays are a wonderful time to add a charity element to your party, such as asking guests to bring a wrapped toy for an underprivileged children’s organization. Choose one that most people know, such as Toys for Tots ( www.toysfortots.org ), and you’ll get great participation.
2. Ask for donations in lieu of a birthday gift
As part of the invitation, be sure to specify which charity you’d like your guests to donate to. Or, if you support a broader cause, such as breast cancer awareness, provide links to a few organizations where guests may donate.
3. Hold bidding wars
Live and silent auctions are lively and fun ways to add a jolt of excitement to any party while at the same time raising funds for a worthy cause. Draft your most boisterous friend, give him or her a mic, and let the bidding begin. To entice bids, be sure to display all of the auction items prominently so guests can browse before placing bids.
