How To Host A Local Event
Local events
Individuals are welcome (and needed!) to organize local fundraising initiatives. We can provide ideas, guidance and support in organizing your special event.
Volunteers organize an annual RGM for SPF Golf Classic in Maryland. You can help with this event or organize a golf tournament in other areas. Visit RGM for SPF Golf Classic to read about this event and see photos.
Here are some easy ideas you can help raise funds for research:
- Bake Sale, Car Wash, Rummage or Yard Sale, or Gift Wrapping Table
- Bike-a-thon, roll-a-thon, dance-a-thon, walk-a-thon or similar activity
- Entertainment Book promotion
- Restaurant Promotion, where a restaurant donates a portion of sales on a particular date (Papa Gino's pizza and Pizza Hut are popular choices) Coupon booklet promotion – some restaurants or grocery store chains offer coupon books
- Social - a barbecue, picnic, breakfast, or dinner. Sell tickets for the meal that will also include a donation. You can add a raffle or auction to raise additional funds
- Hold a "party plan" event with a direct-selling company willing to donate a percentage of the proceeds (Tupperware, Pampered Chef and Avon are popular choices)
