And who is Charity?
Seriously, I have headed several fundraisers.
1. Bingo and ukay ukay
2. Badminton tournament. Get sponsors for prizes, venue, and logistics. Fees and cash sponsorships will be the revenue.
3. Get one night of the Cerrudo Classico series. Good show, easy to sell tickets. But mark up for charity.
4. For that matter, get one show, any show that is popular. We had one night of Mitch Valdez's series at the Mandarin. And one night of Vagina Monologues.

1. Write down what charity or animal shelter you are going to fundraiser for.
2. Ask for money. Write a letter explaining your cause, why you are involved, who is to benefit, etc. It's a good idea to request a specific amount or set different levels. ($20 = Silver, $100 = Gold, $500 = Platinum, etc.) Send your letter to EVERYONE. Friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, dentist, teacher, and and anyone else you interact with.
3. Sell stuff.
* There are many companies who sell goods wholesale to non-profits for resale.
* A hot trend right now is to sell chocolate or other candies that most people enjoy.
* Perhaps you or someone you know has a creative talent ie: making jewelry or quilting.
* Try selling homemade items for at least $1.00 each. Offer to do chores around the neighborhood to walk someone's dog or to to yardwork for somebody that YOU KNOW.
4. Hold a small event. Write down the people you know nearby. Do you know any musicians or celebrities who would play a benefit show? Ask a club you frequent if they would be willing to set aside a special night where a percentage of the door/drinks goes towards your cause if you get people in the door.
5. Have an auction. Silent auctions are the easiest to organize and often bring the greatest returns. Ask local retailers if they would like to donate goods or services. They get a nice tax write off, advertising and good PR. Have stuff for as many price ranges as you can find. Spa treatments, hotel weekends and gift certificates are big sellers.
6. Hold a 50/50 raffle. Charge $2.00 dollars a ticket to enter. The winner gets half the money collected. For example: You get 100 people to buy a ticket at $2.00 each. That is $200. The winner gets $100 & your charity gets $100. You can also tack on any other prizes you can get donated, like gift certificates, to make the raffle more appealing. The more prizes available, the more likely a person will win something!
7. Create an online fundraising page (e.g. try www.firstgiving.com). Create a webpage, send the link to your family, friends, co-workers, parishioners, teammates, etc. and collect donations via credit cards online. It's easy and simple, and eliminates spending a lot of time sending letters, calling people, and organizing big events. Remember To Be Creative And To Have Fun While Fundrasing!
