Casino parties are not about all fun no gain. They’re an excellent opportunity to raise funds for a charity or non-profit organization. The sheer popularity and appeal of such events make them one of the most highly-attended events in the annual calendar. What better day to pitch an idea for something noble when there’s a large audience that can be addressed?
A casino night fundraiser maximizes social outreach by attracting all kinds of people, from philanthropists, to social workers, business tycoons and high-profile socialites. Offering them a night full of fun, games and food is not a bad trade to make for the funds that you’ll be collecting for a humanitarian cause.
Here’s how to make fundraising actually fun with casino parties.
Set a Ticket Price
It’s important to decide a target amount of funds you’re aiming to raise for this cause so that you can plan out the event accordingly. The higher your target score, the more you can invest in the décor, amenities, games and refreshments.
Make a structured plan for your event by putting in the target funds at the top, followed by expected tickets to be told, estimated figure of expenses, and net profit that can be made. This will make it easier to follow the plan and keep a check on your funds throughout.
Exciting Table Games
When someone thinks of a casino night, they are thrilled by the prospect of trying their luck at craps, blackjack or roulette. Table games are major attractions for those who’re willing to lose a fraction of their wealth for the thrill. A larger variety of games that entertain novices and experts both will make the fundraiser even more successful because you’ll have more hands willing to bet.
A great way to cut down on your aggregate cost is to secure a table sponsorship. This is a win-win for the sponsor and the fundraiser because it allows former’s brand name to be advertised and the latter’s purpose to be fulfilled. You can attract major sponsors by offering to market their business with visibly large sponsor signs displayed at each table they sponsor.
Drink Sales
There’s nothing like hard drinks that can spice up the casino party night. Endless rounds of drinks need to keep circulating to stay true to your real inspiration—Las Vegas casinos—and cash this opportunity to make money.
It’s better if you diversify with drinks on the menu and include all kinds of beverages because not everyone will be playing at the tables. Since it’s a fundraiser and not an actual casino, the etiquettes of being in a casino can be relaxed here. People can roam around, socialize, or just have a nice chat with a drink in hand if they want to. The key to raising most funds is to offer everyone present at the venue something to do. Drinking is a good past time for all the guests and also a lucrative chance to raise funds.
Food
The kind of gentry you see at such fundraisers wouldn’t mind paying for a decent meal for a lot of entertainment at a fundraiser. Make sure you hire the best caterers so that the guests pay more out of appreciation than compulsion. The best way to raise funds through food is to have sponsors who would fund the catering. This way you’ll have more dishes on the menu to please all taste buds.
