Organising casino night fundraiser can be hard and often thankless work. Whether it’s a primary school, secondary school or even a footy club fundraiser, chances are your organisation has tried a few of the “standard” solutions over the years.
Maybe it’s trivia nights, or chocolate drives, raffles, fetes or dinner dances. The best, most successful casino night fundraiser events are the ones that get your guests excited! They’re the ones people want to come to because it’s going to be fun, not ones they support half-heartedly because they’re “expected” to.
So if those same-old ideas are starting to get a bit stale with your audience, it’s time to do something different, something exciting. A fun casino night delivers exactly that! It’s also really easy to organise, which saves you and your committee a lot of stress and effort.
“We had such a great night at our Car 17 Fundraiser and many people contributed to the event to make it our best ever attendance in the 11 years we have been running this and equally importantly our best ever profit for the event.
We have set our sites on contributing $100,000 for the 2018 year of fundraising and although we are not there yet our profit of $71,386 for the event has given us a huge start.
Thank you for your support for our record-breaking fundraiser. Your generosity will make a huge difference to special needs children.”
