Fund-Raising and Sleepovers Go Together

 

We’re coming up on the holidays, a time for gathering and a time for giving.  As the gift giving season draws near the number of fund-raising events increases.  These events have taken on many shapes and forms over the years, ranging from church carnivals, to bake sales, to ping-pong tournaments and more.  If you are involved with a charity, you know that sometimes coming up with a unique and fun idea is not an easy task.  This year, consider holding a sleepover to help raise money for your organization.

 

Our busy schedules sometimes mean that there are not enough hours in the day to work, run errands, and take care of the kids, never mind trying to work in events.  A sleepover can be a great way for your charity to ensure a big turn-out by “turning in” – after all, sleepovers happen at night!

 

As for where your charity could hold a sleepover, many museums across the country offer sleepover events for their younger patrons – with just a few phone calls, you could likely organize a fun night out at a museum.  These sleepovers can even be family events, ensuring an even greater turn out!

 

While we usually think of children when we hear “sleepover”, it doesn’t mean that it needs to be a children’s event.  You could challenge the members of your group to spend the night in a haunted house, or create a team challenge where offices spend the night at work, or you could even host a themed pajama party, one that includes a midnight feast and breakfast the next morning.

 

Having a sleepover event to fund-raise for your charity or organization can be a fun and memorable way to engage your community and to raise money at the same time.  Consider holding a sleepover this holiday season!
