Piggy back onto another event.

Do you know anyone who is organising an event soon?

It could be a BBQ, a race night, a dinner, a cricket match. Anything where a lot of people will be gathering.

Ask the organiser if you can piggy back onto their event to raise money for Simakakata Community School.

You could organise a cake sale, host an auction, sell raffle tickets, provide some magical entertainment. Any kind of fundraising activity you can think of that is suitable for the event you’ll be piggy backing onto.

If the organiser asks you why they should let you be part of their event, here a few negotiating points you could use.

• The charity angle could be an extra selling point for the main event. It may help the organiser sell a few extra tickets.
• You could providing 40 minutes of entertainment which the event organiser doesn’t need to worry about.
• And if they ask why LearnAsOne over another charity you can explain that all the attendees will know exactly where the money they give is going.
