Hosting Events As Fundraisers: What Does It Take?
You’re Invited to this webinar on Wednesday, October 18th, at 2 pm ET
Does your Friends Organization want to host a fundraising event, but you are not sure where to get started? In this webinar, we will present examples of events hosted by Friends organizations both on and off FWS lands as fundraisers. You will hear how the event was developed, what partnerships were created, what level of effort was needed, lessons learned for future events, and net income raised.
We will hear about events such as the Beer Festival put on by the Friends of Tualatin River NWR (presented by Bonnie Anderson), the Canyon Acoustics Festival, the Black Hills Beer Run, and Hotrods for the Hatchery Events held by the Booth Society (presented by Karen Holtzer), as well as the Friends of Seney NWR’s Loonapalooza Event (presented by Polly Sheppard) and the Wild Things Event at Southeast Louisiana Refuges (presented by Sue Wilder). We hope that the information provided in this webinar will not only get you excited about hosting a fundraising event but also provide some of the details it takes to host these kinds of events. This will be a fun webinar to attend!
