I was thinking how nice it would be to raise money for the coming up holidays. Could we use any of the fundraising ideas to go kayaking racing.
How could we raise money for a cause, be in the holiday spirit, and go kayaking in Jacksonville or “near me”. Some fundraising events are major revenue for your cause. If you are looking for a quick plan or event fundraiser, I will be looking at 9 ideas to help you use kayaking to replace the 5k run or bike race.
Instead of using the classic fundraising event idea, aka the 5K is popular favorite that can raise big bucks for your cause. use:
-entry fees
-implement peer-to-peer fundraising
so participants can start raising money upon registration. Keep in mind a suggested:
-fundraising goal
-prepare incentives
send participants tips on how to reach out to their networks. Having your team and check out these to plan your most successful fundraising.
Silent Auction
Having a Silent auction at your Kayaking race could really help you raise money.
Pub Crawl
A pub crawl fundraising event can make a fun night out equally as meaningful. Have list of pubs that are will know that your groups will be going out that night for fundraising, employees of the pubs should be trained or made aware of the event night:
-charge for entry.
-invite registrants to secure donations for each stop they make.
Put a fun twist on the event by adding a costumes, 50 night, black tie.
Ice Cream Social
This fundraising event idea is good for churches, communities, civic group, families and children. Ask your community and local businesses to donate supplies:
-get the word out.
-and charge per scoop day-of.
Consider adding an ice cream eating contest into the mix. This type of event would be ideal on a weekend or in the summer when families have more free time on their hands.
Eating Contests
Have a eating contest for your next fundraiser. Types of eating contests
-Pies.
-Doughnuts.
-or hot dogs.
Contestants can pay an entry fee to compete. Solicit local shops or bakeries to donate the food.
BBQ Cook off
Invite your City chefs to a cook off offering their best plate of barbecue for bragging rights, and ask guests to donate, taste, and cast their votes for their top choice.
Dinner Party
This fundraising event idea can turn into a costume party for any occasion. Whether you host a cocktail event:
-Sell tickets.
-Invite guests over to a rented venue.
-Volunteered home.
-or your office
for a delicious meal. Prepare your elevator pitch so that guests will understand how meaningful this dinner, and their contributions, truly are.
Dance-off
This fundraising event idea by asking people to fundraise to participate in a 24-hour dance marathon.
Relay Race
Having a fresh spin on the traditional 5K or 10K and turn it into a team relay race. Get kayaker instead of runners to solicit their networks for donations. Perhaps each leg of the race demands a particular costume theme after the race. I would sugges a kayak race of some kind to stay on the theme.
