Planning a fundraiser - Can you help?!
Question: Planning a fundraiser - Can you help!?
I want to organise a fundraiser for a child who has cancer!. I live in the UK but the baby lives in America!.
Just a few questions:
1!. Do I need to register this as a charity!?
2!. How do I approach sponsors for the fundraising event!? Letter, email, in person!?
3!. Should I prepare a presentation to encourage sponsors to donate!?
4!. What are some good ideas for fundraising!? (Bingo, poker, etc!.!.!.)
5 How can I attract a high profile guest/entertainer!?
Anything else you may think I need to know!?
Thank you in advance!

Answers:
1!. No you do not!.
2!. Letter, email, in person!? You should approach them in person, but also have a letter typed out, it looks better and shows them you are going to organize this event well and make it successful!.
3!. Yes!. You have to show them why you are doing this!. Pictures always help to raise awareness!.
4!. From experience, do maybe 2 or 3 different events!. Each event attracts different people!. Casino night with a theme of "James Bond" would be suitable for adults!.!.and you could organize a fun day for children!. Bouncy castles, balloon making, face painting, races etc!.
5 You need to write a letter to them!. They will also be more interested if they themselves have been affected by cancer, or they have a sister how was etc!. They will be more likely to except!.
Organize a committee of your friends who would like to help and assign them a different task!. All the help will help you!.
Good Luck!
