Cow Chip FundraiserCountry-style Fundraising EventWhat exactly is a cow chip fundraiser? It's a country-style fundraising event that combines guessing where a cow will answer nature's call with a cow pie with raising funds for your favorite charitable cause. Turn the cow chip bingo event into a big party and include multiple fundraising activities and you'll be amazed how much you can raise! How it works Each square is then sold for a set price and square numbers are assigned through a drawing system. Price your squares reasonably so all will sell, but high enough to raise considerable funds. For example, you could offer 500 squares for $20 apiece. Offer half the total amount taken in as the prize for the winning ticket. In the example above, you would promote the $5,000 prize offered in your cow chip fundraiser. The fun part of it is that instead of doing a drawing to select the winner, the winning square is the one where the cow leaves it first cow pie. Fundraising event activities For instance, you could have a pig roast or offer traditional barbecue. You can set up a stage area where a live band can entertain or even offer a battle of the bands. Make it a family event by offering children's activities like face painting or an inflatable moonwalk. Have a bake sale booth. Attract older children with fun events like a home run derby or judge a speed pitching contest with a radar gun. Setup tables offering donated items through a silent auction or hold a live auction for popular goods and services such as spa treatments or vacation trips. You can even hold a big raffle in conjunction with your event. Raffles featuring big prizes like a new car or a big screen television can raise substantial amounts all by themselves, so combining one with a big turnout event is a no-brainer. Publicity In your summary paragraph, highlight the prize and and how the winner is chosen, as that's usually the only part that's read. Give your event a newsworthy angle by including pictures of your blue ribbon cow or bull and your organizing committee. Fun stories often make local newscasts, so play up the 'Let the Chips Fall Where They May' angle. Offer a spot as Grand Marshal to a local television personality and have them announce the winner. This kind of publicity lays the groundwork for making this fundraising event an annual tradition. Summary Live music and unusual food are big draws as are family-oriented fun. Auctions and raffles can also be included to aid your cause. The bottom line is that a cow chip fundraiser is the way to go! |
