This will help you with tips to get the most out of your efforts and to help raise the most money for your group whether it is for your children’s school, a church, a local children’s hospital or a health related non-profit such as breast cancer research. One example of a successful Brevard County fundraising benefit was having a whole wedding theme package that included donations from the town florist, Brevard County wedding desserts, rings from a jeweler and a reception site. This item went for a lot in a live auction to a couple that wasexcited to receive a fabulous deal while at the same time benefiting a wonderful charity a hard hit in the economy. People do not have the additional funds that they once did to offer to charities. Some smaller non-profit groups, on the other hand, have raised the same or even more money this past year by thinking a bit more creatively.

One such group is a group that raises funds for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Ohio called Kindervelt. They have different chapters all over the city but one of the smallest communities last year raised more than most of them. Terrace Park is a town of only 2,000 yet they were in the top tier for raising funds to the group last year duringtough economic times. They had a very successful event called Party on ice that was held a t a large ice arena and beautiful building. The committee wanted to take a risk and do just 5 large items at a live auctioninstead of a lot of little things in a silent auction as they had always done in the past years. The same businesses had been hit up for donations over and over and the people going to the events were not excited about the items offered. So, they created large great ticket itemssuch as a ski trip to Colorado, a trip to Chicago, a private dinner by a local well known chef in your home and an extreme home makeover package. The five items went for more money that any of the silent auctions had ever gone for in recent years. This group has also successfully created its own unique way to fundraise by offering pre-paid parties. Various couples decide on a great themed party such as a Rollin’ Down the River canoe trip and BBQ or a specialbox at a Reds game complete with time spend with the announcer in the media box. The peoplehosting the party pay for the entire party and charge people to sign up for it. All of the amount that is charged goes directly to the non-profit. This has been a great way to raise money and to get to know your other neighbors in the community and a ton of fun too!
