Fundraising Events
A fundraiser is a party with a purpose. Usually, the main purpose is to raise money, but fundraisers also help increase loyalty among current donors, and make new people aware of your organization, cause, or campaign. (Another name for this type of event is "friendraiser.") Such events can be fancy, like a black tie gala, or more casual, like barbecue and bluegrass music. A good fundraiser will have a loyal group of volunteers willing to work hard to make it a success, but many groups today lack experienced staff or volunteers who have the time to organize a large event. We have worked with a variety of non-profits to produce great events. If you have a good concept, but lack the resources to bring it to fruition, let us help you make it a success.

FAQ: What does an event management package cost?
Each package is customized for each client. We charge a flat fee based on the size of the event and the scope of the duties involved. If you do not need a full event package, any of these duties can be performed on an a-la-carte basis for a reasonable hourly fee. We do offer discounted rates to non-profit organizations.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:12-14)
