PEG BOARD SALE - ONSITE FUNDRAISER
We've got an idea to help you clean out your closets while raising money for Relay For Life. But we also need some help pulling together the details of how to execute this potential fundraiser.
Here's the high level idea:
- Gather up as many handbags, purses and shoes as possible to sell for $10/item
- Put some surprise gifts in a few of the items for sale (Twins Tickets, gift cards, dinner for 2, tickets to a play/show, CDs or ??? other items of value) to create some excitement around the purchases (beyond the wow-factor of a new bag or pair of shoes)
- Donate the money raised from the sale of the bags/shoes to the American Cancer Society.
We are looking for a team or teams to help us fine-tune this idea.
- We are thinking that the team(s) running the peg board sale would earn a percentage of the donation totals to put toward their team total
- Donors of the higher value 'surprise' items tucked into the purses/shoes would earn a percentage of the donations totals to put toward their team total (split with the team running the game).
We will be asking all of the Relay For Life teams to donate gently used purses and shoes to put up for sale for the fundraiser. Anything that doesn't sell will be donated to a local charity after RFL.
What do you think? We need some feedback and some people interested in helping to run the fundraiser during Relay. The event committee will supply some help in getting the game/sale setup... so what do you say?
If you are interested in helping or if you have any ideas about how to make this work, please email Paula, Jen or Mara.
Once we figure out the logistics, we'll email and post more details to let everyone know how they can help.
Thanks!
