Event Fundraising - Overview
Fundraising events take on all shapes and sizes. Imaginative fund raising events are not quite as common.
There are many different themes for fundraising events including fund raising dinner events, fundraising bowling events, charity fund raising events, church fundraising events and school fundraising events.
The fact of the matter is that you can turn any type of fundraiser into an event in the way you promote and run it. By treating your fundraiser as an event you will dramatically increase the results. Just think about how much more exciting it is to participate in the Third Annual We Love Cookies Event instead of we are selling cookie dough for a fundraiser.
Here are three suggestions on fundraising events for you to consider.
 |
Walk-a-thonThe most common fundraiser event is probably a walk-a-thon. If you are holding this type of fundraising event we suggest you use the services at Choose-a-thon to help maximize results. Choose-a-thon offers online resources to handle the marketing and administrative functions of event fundraising. You create a website to promote your event. There is no upfront cost to use the service. |

Cookie Dough Event FundraisersCreate an event selling Papa’s Frozen Gourmet Cookie Dough. You will be offering more than a dozen great cookie dough flavors. You pre sell the dough using free order forms. You do not need to purchase flavors in full case quantities like other cookie dough lines and there is no need for upfront money. People love baking cookies as an event fundraiser! |
 |
Auntie Anne Pretzels Event FundraisingWhether you choose to pre sell Auntie Annes for an event pretzel fund raiser or you simply purchase the pretzel mix to cook pretzels you can sell, holding a pretzel eating event is sure to be a winner. Auntie Annes is one of the most trusted brand names. Take advantage of this opportunity and make the money you need selling pretzels. |
What is an event fundraiser?
Great question. An event fundraiser can be something participants physically participate in like a walk-a-thon. It can be an event they attend like a dinner. Or it can be a special way to treat any fundraiser you hold. Look at your fundraiser as an event and people will get caught up in the excitement.
Can anyone hold an event fundraiser?
Absolutely. There are fundraising event ideas for any sized group and even for individuals.
How do I pay for an event fundraiser?
Quite often people wanting to hold an event fundraiser do not have any money. That's why we suggest you look at our pre sell fundraisers to hold in conjunction with your fundraiser event. We provide everything you need to hold your fundraiser so there is no need for upfront cash.
