Turn Your Next Party into a Change the World Fundraiser!
Just about everyone wants to make a difference with their lives -- they just don't always know how.
Fundraisers are a great way to raise awareness of important issues around the world, and the people you invite can make a big difference without even trying very hard - and while having a great time!
Fundraisers don't have to be big or complicated to be effective. You would be amazed at the difference you can make by just holding your next party with a purpose!
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination and creativity, but here are a few ideas:
- Hold a "Birthday Party" for orphaned children and ask people to write cards and make donations to help with their support. Everyone will feel good about themselves and an abandoned child will know that someone thousands of miles away cares about them! $75 can help provide a child with school supplies, uniform and tuition for one year.
Raising money can be as simple as donating the money raised from a Garage Sale to collecting spare change from Friends & Neighbors - click here for some more Fundraising Ideas.
As you can see there are a lot of different & easy ways that you can incorporate charity into your daily life. By just asking guests to not bring a "Host Gift" to your event & by specifying a theme of the gifts &/or donations ahead of time it is an easy way to open your heart & mind to the needy children & communities of the world.
Thank-you in advance for your support!
