Bingo for Bag-os 👜 3 publicity tips for charity events A popular Central Florida event, Bingo for Handbags, supports local charities and does publicity right. Are you a #nonprofit or hosting a fundraiser and need help promoting it? Here are some tips for you. 1. Spokesperson. Get an ambassador to help promote your event. Crystal embodies the charity's values and has close ties to it, so she is a perfect person to help support and promote the event. Plus she's a very kind and authentic person. 2. Case Studies. Highlight stories that showcase the work your charity does. Who doesn't love a good story? This will encourage donors to support more. 3. Timely content and news releases. Have well-thought-out press releases and social media content during the campaign period. For your next #fundraising event, use these 3 tips and your event will thrive. https://lnkd.in/eyHYeduD

A little 'inside baseball' for how a Rally North America event works. 80+ cars line up in a smallish town (think Erie, PA or Knoxville, TN) on a sunny weekday morning - come to think of it, I've never been on a starting grid where it was raining - listen to a rallying introduction from our organizers and that town's leadership, and then get in our cars, waiting for the coveted Clue Card for the day and the green flag. Local news crews recording as we take off, one by one. Pictured is one of those Clue Cards - this from our 2016 Big Sky Rally which ran from Billings, MT to Portland, OR. As you can see, each checkpoint is described with just a clue and an image. We have to figure out what it is, where it is, and how to get there more quickly than the other 79 cars' occupants. While respecting traffic laws, mind you; a ticket is an instant DQ. Our place in the starting grid is dictated by how much money we raise for the charity that year. In 2012, I secured pole position with approximately $3500 raised. By now, pole position requires more than $20,000 in donations. We are that serious about the cause. I'm usually good now for about $8,000 - though I'm behind in my efforts so far this year. Please help me out by hitting Like and, if you think the cause worthy, repost to your networks. All donations, large or small, are hugely appreciated and roundly celebrated. My goal for this week is to raise $250 through our donation page, which is linked below. All proceeds go directly to Camp Sunshine and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes. 🏕 ☀ This post is related to Rally North America's 2024 Sunshine Rally. As we do nearly every year, my wife and I are participating under the team name Slightly Lost. Our goal is to raise as much money for the chosen #charity as we possibly can; please help us make a difference for the kids at Camp Sunshine by contributing at our Team Page. Link in the Comments. For more information, or if you represent a business that would like to get exposure during the event, DM me. #fundraising #foragoodcause #rallynorthamerica #campsunshine #slightlylost661

Communication is more than words, and the smiles on our faces demonstrate just how much we enjoyed being a part of Run Reigate on Sunday! Thank you so much to everyone who helped out: those behind the scenes who help events happen, the volunteers behind the stall, the choir members who sang, the people who came and talked to us, cheered us on or watched us sing, and last but not least, our fantastic running team in their tutus, rainbows and big foam hands. As a small charity, community fundraising efforts make a HUGE difference. We appreciate every bit of support and we love meeting you all at local events, especially one like Run Reigate which supports so many fantastic local charities. There is still time to donate to Include and our runners!

Thank YOU Titanium Payments for your Birdie sponsorship for the Fourth Annual McNeese Kids Charity Golf Tournament on September 23rd at The Clubs of Stonebridge Ranch! Aaron Pitts About Titanium Payments: Originally founded as Alpha Processing in 2000, Alpha Processing merged into MLS Direct Network when we launched our national program in 2004. In 2016 Titanium Payments was launched as a separate start up company. This new program operates similar to a non-profit organization in that it doesn’t accumulate any significant profits at the corporate level. Most profits in excess of our streamlined operating costs are pushed out to our member/partners. This allows our members to offer maximum savings to their prospective merchants. This concept is the exact opposite of the industry in general. The typical provider in our industry retains a significant amount of the profits at the corporate level while the street level agent is forced to charge higher pricing to make up the difference at the expense of the merchant. We feel that this is a failed concept that has created a huge turnover in the processing industry. Our member/partners have a low attrition rate and are experiencing stabilized profits through better pricing. They are able to grow their individual offices without having to overcharge their respective merchants in the process. About McNeese Kids: McNeese Kids believes that every child deserves the opportunity to be the best version of themselves and to live a life free of neglect and abuse. Be it food, clothing and shelter, or programs and education, we support the core dimensions of a child's wellbeing. By teaming with recognized charities and direct community involvement, we act as a catalyst to get resources to children who need it most.

Thanks so much for your support this year Claritas Solutions Limited 💙 Check out this blog below to find out what they've been up to!

"In 2022 alone, charities raised $749 million nationwide through so-called point-of-sale donations, a 24% jump from 2020, according to Engage for Good, which tracks this type of charitable giving. And that was just from campaigns that brought in $1 million or more. Although that figure was tiny compared to the nearly $500 billion in estimated charitable giving in 2022, total giving actually dropped that year. But it's the round-up fundraising strategy, which was first introduced about 15 years ago, that has really taken off in recent years, according to Michelle McCarthy, executive director of Round It Up America." #charity #fundraising #philanthropy #causemarketing #pointofsale #charitablegiving #donations #nonprofit
