Hi there! here are 5 ways to raise money at your event, the guest will be well entertained, satisfied, and look forward to your next event.
Beat a Beater
This activity can be done for mostly fundraising events. Your event planning team should get an old scrap car that is of no use to anyone, talk to a mechanic to remove any part of the car that might be of harm to anyone before the day of the event. You can choose to decorate the car or dress it up and customize it to fit the theme of your event, so as to give it a distinct look. This is a scheme done to let guest express their angry emotions and stress that have built up in them, those that will want to take a go at it must pay a certain amount of money to hit the car with either a crowbar or hammer. Be very careful and ensure that no one gets hurt, keep medical staff on standby, maintain a long distance to keep those spectating safe, and don’t forget to provide safety gears for those participating.
Mud Volleyball
Mud Volleyball is a very messy activity, you’ll need to inform your guest to come along with an extra pair of clothes that are easy to use and wash afterwards. The game would include two teams that will compete for the grand prize, each contestant will have to pay a certain amount as a means to raise funds out of it, and also encourage bystanders to vote on who the winning team will be, by paying a little fee. Make sure showers and hoses are made available for the participants to wash themselves with after they’re done.
Minute to Win It
Looking for a way to get your contestants involved in fun activities that will spice up your event, and still make money out of it?

You will be able to not only raise enough money on that day and also have potential partners and an increased number of attendees for your following events.
Balloon Bust
Blow up a huge number of balloons and insert papers in them, they should either include a price or a ‘thank you, try again’ note.
