Alicia Bausley, business owner of Empowered Business Entrepreneurs described in her previous blog post how she easily put on a fundraising dinner party for her friends and easily raised $3,000 for the Just Like My Child. She was kind enough to share her quick instructional video and templates with us.
I am just like anyone else who is reading this – I am someone who wants to be able to give back in some small way and do something that I know is doable for me and that may take some effort but will help to create fun with friends and funds for Just Like My Child.
Your event does not have to be over-the-top. It can be as casual as a spaghetti-fest with a Cesar salad and garlic bread and charge only $25-$30 and have 10 people over. Some people may not think this is grand enough, but a $300 donation to Just Like My Child can help an entire family become self-reliant through the Project GRACE program. $300 – that’s it!
If we all come together as a community and pay it forward to a worthy cause that has hands-on programs. With just a small amount of money Vivian can do wonders. If you think about the fact that a mosquito net is only $10, one dinner party can help 30 people in preventing malaria. Every little bit helps and there is no donation that is too small.
In the simplest form, putting together my dinner party only involved emailing my friends, following up with a phone call and then sending out invitations only to those who confirmed (saves you money and time)
If you are reading this and you think it is a lot to do, it really isn’t. To help you I have put together a quick video to explain the process. Below the video you can get access to templates of the various documents I used so that you can simply recreate the steps by filling in your own information.
