When you are planning a fundraiser, it is often fun to think of themes. One of the more common themes that charities and non-profit organizations use would be a casino night. A casino night always inspires thoughts of dazzling games, suave gentlemen in tuxedos or suits, and women decked out in finery.
It can also be a really effective theme to help your charity really maximize its profits that can help future endeavors. Here are a few tips to help you really rake in proceeds for your good cause:
Table Sponsorships
It is always a good idea to partner up with local businesses. They are often looking to tie their name toward a charity and a good cause (especially if it’s local). You can try to approach them and ask them if they would like to sponsor a table for your casino night.
This is really effective if you are hosting poker, roulette, or even black jack. You will need tables and those tables offer precious ad space that local businesses can certainly use.
Selling Tickets in Advance
This is actually a practical move for most charities that aim to get a lot of attendees for their fundraiser. Selling tickets in advance can give you a pretty good idea regarding the turnout of the event itself. Even if they don’t turn up, the fact that you sold tickets means that’s something that goes toward your charity’s funds and can be used for future endeavors.
Offer Varied Games
Casinos are popular because they offer a smorgasbord of games. If you want your casino night fund raiser to be a true success, you will need to tap into this fact. We’re not saying you should go overboard with the games but having more than 3 games in the area makes sure that there will be something for everyone else to try out.
We hope that these will help you plan out a better casino night for your charity. Let us know how it turns out.
