Need some fundraising ideas for your school?
School Fundraising ideas that will appeal to everyone!
A racing night is a great fundraising idea to raise money for your school, pre-school or kindergarten and the best way to maximise profits for your school is to do it yourself. We specialise in do it yourself fundraising kits.
If you are involved in school fundraising ideas or regular fundraiser activities, then you have probably faced the challenge of trying to find new ideas and something different from the standard trivia nights and chocolate drives. As you are aware, it becomes increasingly difficult to organise a low-cost, cheap fundraiser that is fresh and unique, serving to entertain your guests as well as raise all-important funds.
Until now.
A fundraising Horse Racing Nights event is essentially a private party - except that there's NO real money involved. You may wish to have an entry fee which covers entry to your event plus all the fake racing, and then give punters the option of buying raffle tickets. You may run your traditional extra fundraising activities including live and silent auctions. Either way, it's a great way to raise money for your worthy cause.
Why consider Horse Racing Nights for your next fundraiser?
* The style of entertainment is unique and fresh and is certainly a change from trivia nights and auctions.
* Potential for large profits for minimal outlay
* The racing carnival atmosphere means that there is more emphasis on socialising as opposed to point-blank donations.
* It does not discriminate. Fun is virtually guaranteed regardless of whether the guests are male, female, 18 or 80.
* The fundraising can be structured in a multitude of ways. Talk to us and we are happy to provide advice and suggestions on how to make the most of your racing night.
Determining ticket price
The following questions need to be addressed when calculating your base ticket price.
What is the total of my nett profit plus expenses? (GROSS)
How much money do you want to make? (NETT PROFIT)
What are your total expenses? (EXPENSES)
How many tickets can you sell for the event? (TICKETS)
Example: We wish to raise $3,500 from the event. Our expenses are $1,500 and we aim to sell 200 tickets.
GROSS = NETT PROFIT + EXPENSES = $5,000
Ticket price = $5,000 / 200 tickets = $25 per ticket.
Of course, this is just an example calculation. You also have the freedom to raise funds through other activities on the night.
These are just some ways in which you can raise more funds using Horse Racing Nights.
Horse Racing Nights fundraisers are ideal for most organisations including schools, sports clubs, charities, enthusiast groups and more.
