How to Fundraise?
The easy way- Rotarians are independently wealthy and can donate large sums of money (not realistic)
Fundraising done right - forming friendships while working
Many hands make light work!!!
Remember that Rotary began as a fundraiser for a toilet! All other fundraisers can only get better from here.
Fundraisers we are currently involved in:
Golf Tournament
Calendars
Happy Goat Coffee
Roses???
Possible Fundraisers:
Environmental Fair
Car Raffle
Book Sale
Taste of....
Comedy Show or Dinner Theatre
Gala Dinner
Trivia Night
Cultural Expo
bingo
Catch the Ace...
Other ideas from the members:
Casino
Junior Achievement
We had an enthusiastic discussion on possible fundraisers. Lots of great ideas and members were excited and engaged in the topic.
We need to find that one new event that brings in money and raises Rotary's profile.
Tom's presentation was both exciting and encouraging! Thank you Tom for all the great ideas.
