I've thought about this for the 4 years I've been a consultant and finally did it! Somehow PC linking us up with HWC in October made it doable for me.
I'm holding a HWC/ American Cancer Society fundraiser, where PC donates 25% of sales to ACS and I donate 10% to church outreach.
I wanted 80 people in attendance, 20 whom I don't know from outside of church. I've told everyone again and again it is a fundraiser and to please bring their checkbooks.
I'm at almost 40 in attendance, 2 weeks to go! Am putting the word out to outside sources now.
I am charging admission, to cover costs of food and wine, plus give each guest some tokens to participate...
I'll hold 2 bingo games, 1 at the instant of 7pm where there is first a regular bingo, then there is a "postage stamp" 2 by 3 win, then an inner ring/outer ring win, then there is a total blackout - 4 prizes per game. I'm hoping it takes about 20-25minutes to reach total blackout. Prizes will be past products and some spices. I also bought the calendars (I'll make some noteworthy thing about November 3 being such a good date we do it twice) and have lots of past Season's Best to use as prizes. Top Bingo prize will be $50 off toward your PC order that evening, or donate the money to our causes - 85% to ACS, 15% to church outreach.
I'm soliciting the help of table hosts and co-planners; see the attachments for details.
It should be fun!
...anything you can think of??
