A GLO interest group that I have recently become active with is in the midst of planning their big Philanthropy event for next semester.
I was elected Philanthropy Chair, and look forward to brainstorming ideas with the members to help raise funds for our philanthropies.
Several members had the idea for a Debutante ball, with the young ladies (or families of the young ladies) who are interested in coming out giving a donation to the org that we support in exchange for an invitation to make their debut at the event.
I know some about Debutante balls, but wonder about ways to appeal to our target audience: namely, the young women and their families.
Any off the cuff ideas?
We've considered:
Visiting meetings of various orgs around town such as: Rotary, Junior League, Eastern Star and others that may have members who have daughters who would be interested in such an event and making a presentation (if that is allowed)
Putting out an ad in the local newspaper to attract potential participants.
Getting in touch with the local High Schools and dropping off informational flyers (if that is allowed)
Anyone have an idea or two? Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks
