Save the date for Cool Comedy • Hot Cuisine (CCHC) on October 29 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles! 🎙️ CCHC is always an unforgettable evening of laughter and fine dining to raise funds for scleroderma research. This year's event will be extra meaningful as we celebrate the recipients of the 2024 Bob Saget Legacy Award: John Mayer and Jeff Ross. Both were dear friends of beloved SRF Board Member Bob Saget; they each have a long and generous history of helping him raise funds and awareness for scleroderma research. This award recognizes those who, like John and Jeff, follow in Bob’s footsteps to shine a spotlight on scleroderma and raise funds for a cure. We're excited to share that in addition to being honorees, Jeff will be your incredible host for the evening and John will share an unforgettable performance! And we can't say thank you enough to the event co-chairs—Susan Feniger, Regina Hall, Caroline Hirsch, and Kelly Rizzo—for their hard work in bringing this fundraiser for a cure to life. CCHC features some of the world’s greatest comedians, musicians, and performers (2024 talent line-up to be announced this fall). All proceeds go directly towards the SRF’s mission, supporting our cutting-edge research program & educational outreach. Sponsorships are now available. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4dNQc5w Questions about becoming a sponsor? Please get in touch with Kate Ceredona, Director of Philanthropy, at kate@sclerodermaresearch.org. P.S. Stay tuned—individual ticket sales are coming soon!

I work with female entrepreneurs helping them up level their money mindset to grow their wealth without working more hours!
The overnight success you are trying to emulate…. They probably took years to actually get there! It really pains me when I see fabulous people, with fabulous services, changing lives DAILY, feel that they are failing because they have not made 100k from that one social media post! As Glastonbury festival begins, just over the hill from where I live, I am going to use the history of that festival to encourage you to keep going! Just keep doing you! Do not let another persons level 8 make you feel that you’ve failed at your level 3! In 1970 the first festival took place for £1 a ticket, including free milk, for 1500 people. Michael Eavis, enjoyed music, wanted to raise some money to pay some bills and that is just what he did. In 1971 the festival was held for FREE! In the early 80s the festival was riddled with problems from Protests, multiple arrests and local councillors not granting licences. 1981 was the first year the festival make a profit! In 1995 (the year I last attended) a ticket cost £65, the festival officially hosted 80 thousand people, unofficially (as they still got under and around the fences probably another 20 thousand!) sanitation was beyond awful, crime was high. Acts were still a little ‘alternative’ & ‘indie’ too. This was also the year that they changed their status to a Not for profit organisation, helping charities and local communities with the profits instead. Now it is world famous! Now it generates multiple millions of revenue for local businesses and charities. In that time, pretty much my life time, there have been multiple hurdles to overcome, many wins, probably many losses and a lot of hard work inbetween. I’m not a festival goer, but it’s become world famous, and its massive success and status today isn’t without multiple years of work. So don’t be dissuaded by the apparent instant success of other people. Stay true to you, do what lights you up, and create the money based on your goals and values. I think the festival is a perfect example of the possibilities when you stand by your values of free thinking and expression, and not be swayed by opinions. I think we can all take a lesson in business from that today. #wealthcreation #moneymindset #BusinessGrowth #payingitforward #businessprofit #wealthmindset

I help gala planners break their fundraising goals. Charity Auctioneer, Emcee, & Fundraising Strategist.
Don't Lose Money at your Charity Gala by Making These 3 Mistakes: The difference between a successful event and a disappointing one often hinges on the details. Remember, an irritated supporter is far from a generous one. Let's dive into three critical areas you need to nail to ensure your gala not only runs smoothly but also maximizes donations: 𝟭) 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻/ 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Picture two scenarios—one where attendees breeze through check-in, greeted by well-coordinated volunteers, and another where they're stuck in a snail-paced line. Which do you think fosters generosity? Overscheduling volunteers might seem excessive until you consider the alternative: a bottleneck entry can dampen spirits before the night even begins. 𝟮) 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 I've seen a huge line at the bar hold up an entire program. Also, it dampens the giving mood when folks have to wait a long time for a drink. 3) 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿. Muffled or inaudible announcements don't just irritate; they alienate. Whether it's understanding the cause, getting excited about a live auction, or simply following the evening's program, clear sound ensures your message resonates across the room, compelling guests to act. I don't recommend depending on your DJ or band for sound, they're experts at optimizing their music to sound good, not your voices. Hire an independent audio/visual person. These elements—efficient check-ins, sufficient bartending, and impeccable sound—are not mere details; they're the backbone of a gala that not only entertains but also achieves its fundraising goals. #charityfundraising #auctioneer #nonprofit #nonprofitevents

*Letter from the Founder* "Ria T. DiLullo here, founder & artistic director of The Skeleton Rep(resents). I want to start off by thanking you - thanking you for supporting TSR, showing up, participating, and even staying on this mailing list! Theater does not exist without an audience, and so your presence plays a big role in our success. I appreciate you, as do the teams that make up each project. I will share with you that, while I certainly don't make this work happen alone, I am the one behind these emails, the social posts, the calls to participation, the administrator, facilitator, and the creative leader. It is good, worthy work that brings a lot of meaning and joy to my life - but it is often hard and grueling labor to maintain the space Skeleton Rep holds for so many artists - especially on a small, indie theater budget. TSR is turning 9 years old next year and I have big plans for 2024 - I will continue the Salon Series and maintain the newly formed Artists in Residency program. I want to produce one of the new works I've been developing, as well as start a physical training troupe for actors. My ambitions do come with a cost. I am currently $3,869.01 away from reaching TSR's fundraising goal. If you believe that the theater landscape deserves an independent space where theater artists can develop new works that explore the myths of our time in the hopes to make plays that will be produced for years to come, while practicing their craft and getting paid to do it, then you are a supporter of The Skeleton Rep(resents) - and of me. Whether you've got $5 to spare, $500 to give, or anything in between, please consider donating in that belief today. With gratitude, Ria T. DiLullo" Venmo @SkeletonRep *Tax Deductible Donations at: https://lnkd.in/dBs-9Dq *TSR is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of The Skeleton Rep must be made payable to “Fractured Atlas” only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Outwardly owning your organization's vulnerabilites can be a powerful asset in fundraising. Counterintuitive right? Your organization can receive the same remarkably large five- and six-figure gifts.

Did you know that 96% of the UK’s registered charities are small, with an income of £1m or less per year? Many, like Chichester Cinema, operate on much less, yet their impact on local communities is immense. As a small charity in the arts sector, we pride ourselves on being agile, responsive, and deeply connected to our community. Our size allows us to adapt quickly to changing circumstances and tailor our offerings to meet the unique needs of our audience — this means featuring new as well as retro works, for example, our recent Cult of Cinema series which wraps up this week with the brilliant Trainspotting 🎟 https://lnkd.in/eeWPk5FY However, the landscape for independent cinemas remains challenging. Many are still grappling with the after-effects of the pandemic, and the recent Writers and Screen Actors Guild strike has added further uncertainty. According to the Independent Cinema Office, the post-pandemic recovery has been slow, with audience numbers not yet back to pre-COVID levels, highlighting the need for ongoing support. Despite these challenges, our passion for cinema and our commitment to the community drive us forward. We continue to offer a diverse range of films, from independent gems to global masterpieces, and an education programme for children and adults — all ensuring that the magic of cinema remains accessible to all. Your support helps us to survive and keep bring the best of cinema to Chichester. ↪️ Ways that you can support us: https://lnkd.in/eExKnzbW Make a pledge and show your LOVE for smaller charities ... ❤️ #SmallCharityWeek #SupportSmallCharities #ChichesterCinema #IndependentCinema #ArtsSector #CommunityImpact
