Organize Hair Donation and Fundraising Events

Organizing a Fundraising Event

Fundraising events help us provide wigs to those who need them most. Here are some ideas and steps to organize a successful fundraiser:

Event Ideas

• Walk/Run: Organize a charity walk or run with registration fees going to the foundation.
• Benefit Concert: Host a music event with local artists and donate proceeds.
• Auction: Hold a silent or live auction with donated items from local businesses.
• Bake Sale: A classic fundraiser that's easy to organize in schools or workplaces.
• Percentage Night: Partner with a local restaurant that will donate a percentage of sales.
• Online Fundraiser: Create a virtual fundraising campaign that people can share on social media.

Planning Steps

1. Set a goal: Determine how much money you want to raise and what it will be used for (e.g., "10 wigs for children with cancer").
2. Choose a date and venue: Select a date that doesn't conflict with major holidays or events and find an appropriate venue.
3. Create a budget: Outline all potential expenses to ensure your event will be profitable.
4. Form a committee: Recruit volunteers to help with planning, promotion, and day-of tasks.
5. Promote your event: Use social media, local press, flyers, and word of mouth to spread the word.
6. Gather supplies: Make a list of everything you'll need for the event and start collecting items.
7. Execute the event: Ensure everything runs smoothly on the day of the event.
8. Follow up: Thank participants, volunteers, and donors. Share the results and impact of the event.
