theArthritis Society - Joints in Motion Fundraiser

[Melonie Swinamer]

I have a fundraiser coming up that is being organized by a lady whose sister is running in the Joints in Motion event sometime next fall. We have a local fire hall booked and she is inviting most of the town. I really want this to be successful for her and her sister so I need all the help I can get.

I have read some of the posts here from other consultants but anything new would be great too.

Thanks.

1. Utilize social media and other online platforms to promote the fundraiser. Create an event page on Facebook, post regularly about the fundraiser on Twitter and Instagram, and create a website to provide detailed information about the event and how people can contribute. 2. Reach out to local businesses for donations and sponsorships. Offer them recognition in exchange for their support such as having their logo featured prominently at the event or in promotional materials. 3. Develop a marketing strategy to maximize the reach of your message. Create flyers, postcards, and other materials to distribute in the community, as well as use email campaigns and word-of-mouth to spread the word. 4. Utilize volunteers to help with the organization and running of the event. You can recruit from the local community and assign tasks to ensure the event runs smoothly. 5. Consider creative fundraising activities to engage attendees and raise money. Ideas include raffles, silent auctions, games, and prize giveaways. 6. Follow up with attendees after the event to express your appreciation and remind them of the cause they are supporting.
