Fundraiser Ideas

[hbombgraphics]

Earlier this Year My Nephew (8) Was diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia
It's a rare genetic disorder that currently has him living in a hospital in NYC for a bone marrow transplant.

While he he away people are working on planning a fundraiser for him.
Ideas like a Spaghetti dinner have bounced around, but I have to believe there is a better way to raise funds.

They are looking for an "event" as it gives everyone associated a sense of community differently than an online campaign (already started).

We had a basket Raffle in October and were able to raise a good amount of cash, plus get more people in the marrow registry.


Any cool fund raiser ideas from the ILF Crew?

What sort of groups have his parents been involved with before?

They have a church crew and quite of few of their friends are Gym people or Karate people.


Not super sure, but I don't want to make Spaghetti if I can find a better idea.

Karate people.

Have a board breaking competition.

That's a pretty cool idea,

I thought about a fight club, but that seems like the wrong direction.

Sorry about your nephew.

This may be too similar to the basket raffle idea, but a person at my work needed to raise money for her sister's operation so they organized a "Coach bag bingo" night. Obviously the prize doesn't have to be a Coach bag if you don't want, but it seems to attract a lot of folks. It was pretty successful according to my girlfriend (meaning there was a lot of folks there at $20 a head).

That's a very cool idea, Bingo would be fun

Dang That stinks.

I know you already had one, but a lot of businesses will make significant donations to raffles if you just call them up and ask them.

And if it hasn’t been done yet, a giving fund should be set up for folks to contribute.
