Webinar Description

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 heard about events such as:

  • Beer Festival put on by the Friends of Tualatin River NWR (presented by Bonnie Anderson)
  • Canyon Acoustics Festival, the Black Hills Beer Run, and Hotrods for the Hatchery Events held by the Booth Society (presented by Karen Holtzer)
  • Friends of Seney NWR’s Loonapalooza Event (presented by Polly Sheppard)
  • Wild Things Event at Southeast Louisiana Refuges (presented by Sue Wilder)

We hope the information provided in this webinar will get you excited about hosting a fundraising event and also provide some of the details it takes to host these kinds of events. This was a fun webinar to attend!
