Picture a wall of envelopes numbered sequentially from 1 to 144. The goal of the fundraising drive is to fill each envelope with a currency value corresponding to the number on the envelope:
$1 goes in the envelope marked "1", $50 goes into the envelope marked "50" and so on, all the way up to 144.

144 Envelopes

Use the talents and services offered by club members to your fundraising benefit. Gather willing members to provide services or talents (chef for a day, business consulting, artistic pursuits, etc.), and auction these services.

Hold a Bingo Night for your club! It is a low-key evening, fun for a range of ages, and is easy to organize.

Bingo Night

As the center piece of a ball or special event, a diamond and champagne evening is an elegant way to raise funds. The concept is simple:
There is one REAL diamond lying at the bottom of a champagne flute. But to make it more challenging, there are imposter crystals of the same size in other glasses. One lucky winner goes home with the real diamond!

Champagne Diamond

Fundraising Lunch

Arrange a date, invite club members with their old jewelry, engage a gold buying agent, and add a little food and wine you have a gold party. The jeweler will appraise the items and will make an offer. Make this a charity fundraiser and ask the attendees to split the profits - they keep half of their proceeds and donate the other half to your favorite charity!

Don't you have a handbag that you've never used? Maybe the color or the size was wrong, somehow it just didn't work. Now is the time for your bag to come out of the back of the closet and do some good in the world! Auction these handbags in a fun fundraiser for all!

Helping Handbags

The perfect fundraiser to accompany a luncheon or tea. A three-tiered "cake" is formed of various prizes. Each tier has "slices", each tier's slices cost a different amount. The lower tiers are cheaper, and the top tier is the most expensive.

Triple Tiered Treats

Get significant participation from your club by having members share their time and talent with others. It is a great way for new members to connect with veteran members, for members to connect with each other and also for old friends to try something new.

Share Your Gifts For Good

This is a win-win fundraiser for wine lovers and wine gift givers.

Instant Wine Cellar

This quick and fun game can be played at any sit-down occasion but is super for more formal events when members are dressed up and other “games” don’t seem appropriate.

Heads or Tails

This is a low-key, easy to prepare event that has a tremendous impact.
