Fundraiser Community

Fundraiser Community
Fundraiser idea, how do you think this will work out?

I’m on a team participating in the Relay for Life for the Canadian Cancer Society(www.cancer.ca) and we’ve come up with a fundraiser idea, and I’m looking for opinions on how you think it’ll go, and advice if any of you have put on a similar fundraiser:

Community Game Night at a local community hall. Board games of all sorts set up at various stations, refresments + movies for kids. $2 per person, kids 8&under – free. All funds for Canadian Cancer society.

Thoughts?

Here’s a good article with a couple of dozen “For The Cure” events that other Relay For Life teams have used:

Plus, they’ve got all sorts of advice on how to generate more profit from any event you put together:

Hope this helps!
