Fundraisers :: Let's Share Ideas

(via Active 20-30 Blog)

Jennifer Stephens of the Medford Active 20-30 Club posed a great question to the Presidents Club recently: Can you suggest unique fundraising events that require relatively little manpower?

Great ideas came from all corners of the association and I'd like to take this post to highlight some of them. Please share your ideas, variations or simply elaborate on these in the comments. If you have a project plan you are willing to share, please send it my way - I'll make sure they get posted to the library on the national website.

• Partner with a local restaurant. Distribute fliers promoting Active 20-30 Night. Receive a portion of either the gross sales for the evening or a percentage of sales from the tables who brought in your fliers. Eugene #920 raised over $600 with the help of Papa's Pizza and a little leg work from club members.
• Work with Albertson's or another local grocery to distribute Preferred Shopper cards. The more your supporters shop, the more the club receives back from the store. Rumor has it this program is limited to 501(c)3 not-for-profits.
• Hold a Dress Drive. Collect gently used bridesmaid, prom, and other formal/semi-formal dresses. Partner with a dry cleaner to clean the dresses, then hold a one-day sale with dimes on the dollar.
• Fort Wayne #700 has raised a good deal of money by valet parking cars at local events. Some cities even valet service provided at shopping malls. Work for tips, include the Active 20-30 name on the valet receipt and increase your exposure in the community.
• Usher. Eugene #920 invests a lot of manpower in ushering Ducks Basketball games. If you don't have the manpower to make that commitment, usher at local concerts in the park and at other types of events.
• Celebrity Men's Cookoff. Partner with local media outlets to get local celebrities. Have each prepare a dish for judging or just for sampling by the community attendees. Bragging rights for the winner.
• Poker Run. A pub crawl where each participant collects one playing card at each of 5 stops. The one with the best poker hand at the end of the evening wins a portion of the entry fees collected. At least in the midwest, Harley clubs will often take part and bring lots of participants.

This is just a small sampling of the great ideas I know are out there. What else comes to mind? Chime in, please... and thank you!

A Response to the Reno Air Race Tragedy

A Response to the Reno Air Race Tragedy

(via Active 20-30 Blog)

Below is an email sent this morning to the Presidents Club email list. Please share this with your members and friends as you wish. -t

Tragedies, like the one at the Reno Air Races yesterday, really drive home just how small of a community Active 20-30 is. I'm pleased to say that none of members were injured in the crash, but saddened that many are surely impacted - through the experiences of family and friends who were there, for example.

I can tell you personally how much it meant to get a text message "are you safe?" following the Sugarland stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair last month that killed 7, including my cousin's close friends. It warms my heart that the same happened yesterday with Active 20-30ians reaching out to those in the Reno area to make sure everyone was immediately safe. This is what our small community of members is all about. It's about members like those in Brentwood, NY who chose to act immediately and staff the shelter as the recent hurricane bore down on their neighborhood. Even the fires in AZ, NM and TX have impacted our members and communities in varying ways.

I'm sure the needs of the Reno community will be great over the coming days, weeks and months as everyone deals with this unique experience. I've had people ask what we - members and the association of Active 20-30 - should do for Reno. As the dust settles, we'll look to the Nevada clubs to tell us what we can do for their communities - be it financial support or supplies for a project to help the kids who witnessed the crash or simply prayers and well-wishes.

If you feel compelled to act immediately (as many of us do), head over to your local blood bank and donate if you are able. From the news reports of most crises, blood is one of the first and greatest needs. A few of our clubs hold organized blood drives regularly. This is a great way to remember and honor those impacted by all of the tragic events that seem to never find an end.

Finally, please know that I'm truly honored to be among a group of people who care so much for their fellow members and for strangers in their times of need.

Yours in service,
Trena
