Ah yes, the fun of fundraisers, this one seems like it will be more fun, I've been doing more individual fundraising up to this point, and now it's time to plan a fundraiser night.
I'm kind of excited because my my Dad is going to be cooking for it, we'll have a silent auction and a concert. It should be a fun time, and I'm hoping for a big turn out, partly for fundraising purposes, but mainly because more people at a concert is better.
It's exciting for pretty much all parties involved. If I know musicians, they want to play and in front of people is always better. There's something of a conversation between the performers and the audience. As a musician you get to impart feeling and emotions to the crowd, really as a way of feeling together what could not be described in words.
My Dad has always been excited to cook for groups of people, the bigger the better. For my grad parties from high school and college he had the best ideas for food, and made sure that he cooked everything fresh. No, really at my high school grad party he made fresh pitas, by hand, for about 300-400 hundred people. When I got to my parent's house the day of my college grad party he was cutting steaks, by hand. So for him to get to cook for a group of people is always exciting.
I also said, silent auction, as an introvert silence is good, but having grown up in 2 small businesses in the house, and all the other ones around our family, I like to chance to have businesses donate but also get the advertisement for themselves. So I'm only asking places that I have some level of relationship with or know they do a great job at what they do. So places like my favorite coffee shop, the garage I take my car to, and other businesses that have a good rep are all going to be asked to be a part of the night.
As much fun as fundraising is for me, this one could actually be pretty good.
Always groove responsibly
