Weve all been to boring galas and fundraisers. Stuffy, predictable, and bland. And if youre trying to attract a young crowd? Forget about it. Just getting them there is hard enough, let alone getting them to make a donation.
Whats the solution? You gotta throw one hell of a party!
Join us on Thursday, July 21st as were joined by two event planners who know a thing or two about creating a memorable experience for nonprofits that are fun AND raise cash.
Alex Greer, co-founder of We Bee Creative, noticed something about young adults: they want to help their communities, but they also want to spend their disposable income on nights out with friends. So he combined those two concepts! What started as a spelling bee for adults turned into a series of fundraising events that have raised over $100,000 for nonprofits so far.
