At Ridgewood Catering, it is our goal to help you achieve a successful fundraiser event. There are many things to think about when it comes to throwing a successful fundraiser event. A fundraiser is in many ways like a party; you want your guests to have a good time and enjoy themselves, however there is one difference. A fundraiser has the main goal of raising funds and awareness for a specific purpose. Call us today for a consultation on how we can help you make your fundraiser unforgettable.
Fundraiser Planning and Food
We have lots of experience catering successful fundraisers. Ask us about our menus, ranging from brunch to cocktails to dinner, drinks and desserts. In the meanwhile, here are some helpful things to think about when planning a fundraiser. Remember, a successful fundraiser begins with careful planning!
Goal
It is important to determine what exactly is the goal of the fundraiser. This may seem like an obvious question to ask, but in fact it is important to be very specific about what you wish to achieve with the fundraiser. Set a goal of a specific amount of money or awareness that you want to reach. Tell your guests about this goal. Your enthusiasm and passion will help spark their inspiration to help you.
Budget
It’s important to know the limitations of your budget versus your goals. Planning a budget will be helpful in keeping things organized. It’s also a great way to save time and money by doing research on what types of services you can get for your budget.
Theme
Considering what theme to choose is a great way to fine-tune your own vision for your fundraiser. It’s also a great way to get your guests in a good mood and excited about the idea. A costume themed party is a great excuse for your guests to dress up and celebrate a specific concept. If you tie in the costumes with the goal of your fundraiser, this is even more effective. At Ridgewood Catering we offer many themed menus to suit your fundraising needs. These may include tacos, burgers and anything else that may fit into your vision.
Entertainment
Entertainment is essential to creating a good ambiance at fundraiser events. Consider hiring a live band of musicians, or a DJ to set the mood. Watch as your guests loosen up to the music and feel inspired to engage with your goal. The marriage of entertainment, music and food will be sure to make your fundraiser a success. Will there be children attending the event? If so, renting a petting zoo or a kid-friendly playground is a great way to give the adults some time to relax and enjoy the party
