Fund Raising Events

Giving back is essential to furthering child literacy, education, and family values. Often times, for example, if money is needed to expand the school library or to institute an after-school reading club, the most effective way to fund raise is by getting people together in the same room at an event, rather than send out a mail campaign.

Effective fund raising events are usually tailored to the interests of your community. There are two significant ways to get people involved when they come to your event. One is to sell products such as cookie dough or auction off goods, with a portion of the proceeds going to your cause. Sites like JustFundrasing.com make it easy to get products tailored to your event that can be sold with a high margin of profitability. A second way to get people involved in giving is to offer an interesting activity at your event, such as a book signing or lecture on a hot topic. Pennie Rich Publishing, is a Monte Vista, Colorado, based company that offers their services and support for these kinds of fund raising efforts. They are the publisher of the Stanley the Christmas Tree book and audio book CD by local resident R. E. Hughes. R.E. Hughes can provide his services for book signings. Company founder Pennie Hughes, also has years of experience in education as a school principal, and can speak on a wide variety of topics concerning education, literacy, and the writing process at your event.

Holding a fund raising event is a fun and practical way for schools, communities, associations, and other programs to drum up support that makes their activities possible. It is essential to the success of fund raising events that the activities going on are interesting, enticing, and set the tone for patrons to give support.
