Fundraising program 2
The signature sports club is holding a fundraising program as it is no secret that the operational funds have proven substantial. While the registration and club member fee have been paying the day to day running, the expansion of the club to participate in the league needs additional financing. The organization therefore in collaboration with the entire member’s fraternity including their families has decided to come together to conduct successful fundraising that is both fun and engaging (Lindley, 2015). The fundraising will be held on 14th February 2018, and the fundraising activities include:
Kick a negative habit.
Since the club aims to contribute in the improvement of health, the club members are encouraged to maintaining healthy eating habits. This year’s theme is to minimize the consumption of high caloric carb intake through the donation of the money they would spend on alcohol, soda or cigarettes. They would, therefore, refrain from the stated carb for one week and donate the saved money. The club through its Twitter feed page and Facebook platform will post supportive and advisory messages in allegiance with the members during the week. The week, therefore, will be from 26th February to 5th March and the anticipated contribution is 2000 dollars
Match day raffle
The club has organized raffle tickets with potential gifts to be won after the grand draw on the fundraising day. Each raffle ticket goes at 20 dollars each. The more tickets purchased, the higher the chances of winning. The most lucrative item to be gained if your raffle is picked is a whole year club membership for the winner and his family. Over the season the selling of the raffles by the members to the entire community improves the clubs relationship status. The anticipated contribution is over 10000dollars
Club shop and t-shirts sale
