Hi!
I'm philanthropy chair for my chapter and our philanthropy organization is Children's Miracle Network. Recently, a consultant passed on an easy & fun philanthropy event idea called 'get on the ball'.
From my understanding, the chapter gathers pledges (per signature) and one time donations from businesses and individuals and then they get a GIANT ball they roll around campus. The more signatures they get, the more money they earn from sponsoring events.
I love the idea! I am just unsure of how to efficiently execute it.
If any other chapters have done this event before (or something similar), or have seen other organizations do this event could you answer a few questions?
First of all, how did you gather sponsorships?
I am planning to send out professional packets with information, a flyer, and a donation application to local businesses and our alumnae chapter.
Where did you get the ball?
How long did you do it for? A week? A weekend?
Thanks!!
Peace
