Fundraising Event Ideas
Lemon themed party: Host a lemon-themed party with lemon dishes and drinks and ask guest to make donations in lieu of gifts.
Family Reunion/Company Picnic Fundraiser: Why not make your fundraising for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation a family or office activity!
Golf outing: This is a fun event idea and takes a lot of work! It doesn’t have to be just about golfing; you can incorporate all types of extra fundraising ideas like a silent auction, raffle, and lemonade stand. You can get a local golf pro play a hole for attends in exchange for a donation or even auction off mulligans. Every little bit helps in golf and in fundraising!
Coffee Houses: An Alex’s Coffee House Talent Show event is a great way to get your school, college, or community group involved in the battle against childhood cancer. The event can be a cabaret-type show with singers, dancers, poetry readings, and other musical or theater performances. In addition to the performances, your group can also sell baked goods, coffee, hot chocolate, lemonade, raffle tickets, or even have a silent auction.
Wine and Cheese Tasting: Host a wine and cheese tasting and ask guests to make donations.
Movie Theater: Work out a discount with the theater to rent out a theater room during non-peak hours and invite everyone you know to attend one show for a pre-determined donation.
Fundraise at Work: There are many ways you can incorporate fundraising into your office’s activities.
- Ask colleagues to donate items and hold a silent auction at your office. Have each colleague invite everyone they know to the event.
- Arrange for the office to have $5 Fridays, where jeans can be worn for a donation.
- Host a cook-off challenge at your office. Set up a judging area and have colleagues pay for a chance to sample and vote on their favorite item.
- Organize an office sports challenge. Charge an entry fee for each participant to participate in an activity such as bowling, mini-golf or kickball. Collect donations from family and friends who attend the challenge.
- Donate the proceeds from the office coffee “club.”
