ORGANIZE A FUNDRAISER

My name is Georgia and I have a project that your club, 

troop or group might be interested in. 

I will be going to Tanzania, Africa in 2 months with 3 volunteers and we are taking community size water filters, bucket water filter kits and mosquito nets to 4 remote villages. 

All of the following fundraising ideas are being accomplished every week by 8 year olds with moms and dads, teenagers getting together, boy scout troops, girls scout troops, eagle scouts, Rotary, sports teams, schools, churches and groups of women and/or men and all to reach out to make a difference in the world in a cause they believe in. Your decision to join us and organize one of these fundraisers will save precious children/lives in the world by providing them clean, safe drinking water....

Be Bold...Be Creative....YOU ARE THEIR VOICE!!

• FUNDRAISER IDEAS:

Smaller Fundraisers

• Bake Sales. 
• Car Washes. 
• Pancake breakfast. 
• Door to Door - Change for Water
• Table at your grocery store or church - setup with bucket/filter. We can provide one for you to show/demonstrate with.
• Change for Water - setup a bucket with filter with a sign letting people know that a child dies every 20 seconds from drinking contaminated water...place at schools, malls, stores, and or high traffic businesses. 
• Change Boxes at Stores -You can also make & place small plastic boxes with our dirty baby bottle photo in small businesses for people to donate their change, just like McDonalds does for Ronald McDonald.

Medium size fundraisers: 

• Street Corners - Raise Awareness/fundraiser on high traffic business street corners - large banner with several buckets/filters to attract people and hand out our new flyer or collect money with a large can. 
• Bowling tournament ( my Rotary club holds one of these each year and they raise at least $10K ). 
• Kids Field day- with competitive games with prizes - can include clowns, team mascots, storybook readers, face painting for children. Make event bigger and charge local businesses who sell to families to set up display tents all around. Invite local radio to come make music and promote it.
• Change for Water - setup a bucket with filter with a sign letting people know that a child dies every 20 seconds from drinking contaminated water...place at schools, malls, stores, and or high traffic businesses. 
• Water balloon toss competition/barbecue: this can be held at a beach or park and be a blast, while raising a lot of money ( include a dunking tank ). 
• Miniature golf competition: these can be so much fun, offer prizes for best team scores...promote through your church, schools, clubs or company you work for. 
• School fundraisers: talent shows, fashion shows, school dance, concert. Student vs Teachers: basketball, softball etc. Parents can sell homemade items and drinks...combine with a raffle.

 Larger fundraisers

 ( get your church, school, troop, sports team or club involved )

• Run/Walk, Doggy walk or Bike event: this can be planned by itself or combined with a concert and or VIP lunch and key speakers. ...
• Dinner with silent auction, speakers and entertainment: sell tables for (8) to businesses or people in your church and have them invite their key customers and friends for donations. 

Your members will love making lifesaving differences in the lives of others.

We have a free 45 min presentation that we can share with your group of my last 2 trips to Africa. Very fun, educational and eye opening family friendly with a former teacher, Georgia Evans.
