Hi everyone - I'm a new consultant and have my first show on June 5th. It's actually a fundraiser at the school I work at. We have a Relay for Life team and using PC to raise money for our team. I'm expecting a lot of people there and am hopeful that it'll bring many bookings for the summer. Any suggestions on how to do make it happen? :)
 
I would tell people that if they book a show that I would donate say $5 (or whatever amount you want) when their show is held to the charity.
 
If someone books a show PC donates $3.00 and you can match it to $6.00:)
 
tfalasco, where in NY are you?

Thanks guys - that's a great idea. I'm in Nesconset!
 
I try having something to offer for (whatever month) hosts. "All June hosts will be entered in a drawing for the NEW 8-quart stainless steel bowl!" I don't have GREAT luck booking at fundraisers, but I do what I can...
