Teams can register with a donation, and spectators can contribute to participate in different side games or Raffles. It’s a surefire way to serve up some competitive spirit while supporting your cause.
2. Outdoor movie night
Turn a local park or backyard into an open-air cinema. You can sell tickets for the screening of a popular, family-friendly movie. Don’t forget the popcorn, blankets, and glow sticks! It’s a wonderful way to enjoy those long, lazy summer evenings and collect donations for your cause.
3. Community picnic
Host a giant picnic in a park, where families can buy a basket filled with goodies, or they can contribute an entry fee with their homemade spreads. Organize simple, engaging games for all age groups to foster community spirit. It’s a picnic with a purpose!
4. Summer-themed bake sale
Who can resist a lemonade stand or a table full of summer-themed treats? Think outside the box with tropical fruit cupcakes, ice cream sandwiches, or beach-themed cookies. A bake sale is a delicious way to sweeten the deal for your cause.
5. Car wash
Bring back this classic fundraiser with a summer twist. Add fun signage, play upbeat music, and maybe even have a surprise water balloon fight (with willing participants, of course)! It’s a refreshing way to raise funds and cool off.
6. Garden party
Invite supporters to a garden party where entry tickets support your cause. Feature live music, a silent Auction of donated items, and garden games like croquet or giant Jenga. It’s a blooming great way to gather donations!
7. Outdoor yoga or fitness class
Encourage wellness and support your cause by hosting outdoor yoga or fitness classes. Participants can donate to join a session led by a local instructor. It’s a serene way to connect with nature and each other while doing good. Make it a Livestream for all those who can’t attend but would love to join your virtual yoga session!
