This will give you tips to get the most out of your efforts and to help make a large sum of 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 had items from the local florist, Brevard County wedding desserts, rings from a jeweler and a reception hall. This item went for a lot in a live auction to a couple that wasthrilled to get such a great bargain while at the same time benefiting a wonderful charity a hard hit in the economy. People do not have the additional funds that they used to to give 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 non-profit is a group that makes money for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Ohio called Kindervelt. They have several chapters all over the city but one of the smallest communities last year raised more than the majorityof them. Terrace Park is a town of only 2,000 yet they were in the top three for bringing in funds to kindervelt last year duringa recession. They had a very successful event called Party on ice that was held a t a large ice arena and wonderful venue. The committee decided to take a risk and do just 5 large items at a live auctionrather than many smaller items in a silent auction as they had always done in recent years. The same businesses had been hit up for donations over and over and the people attending the events were not excited about the items offered. So, they made up large big ticket itemssuch as a ski trip to Colorado, a weekend in Chicago, a private dinner by a local well known chef in your home and an extreme home makeover package. The five items went for a larger sum 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 press box. The peoplehaving the party pay for the whole event and charge people to sign up for it. All of the amount that is charged goes directly to the charity. This has been a fantastic method in raising funds and to get to know your fellow neighbors in the community and a ton of fun also!
