Scavenger Hunts
Plan a scavenger hunt! Go and send all the members on the hunt around town for the items on the list of things to hunt. You have the choice to the scavenger hunt in two different ways. One way is by doing the traditional method by gathering all the items, the other is by doing things digitally and what I mean by that is to go around the town or city taking selfies with the specific landmarks. The idea behind using a selfie is to make sure none of the participants and people can win fair and square.
In terms of acquiring the money for the fundraiser, all you have to do is merely charge a registration fee before the event. You may offer the option for the participants to get a head start where they can pay a little extra on top of the registration fee. Likewise, you can do the same with any hints for any specific item or place on the list stuff things that the participants need to acquire.
Trivia Night
Everyone loves trivia night at the bar, for anyone who’s attended one understands the intensity and how high the stakes are in this quiz competition. All you have to do is approach a local pub and or restaurant to host the trivia night event. Next through word of mouth or the magic of the internet, spread the word! You will want plenty of people to come because you will want to raise as much cash as possible but also, more importantly, the more people the merrier it gets (or competitive). Once you have spread the word and organised the venue, simply charge a small admission fee for the participant to take part. Next, group the members randomly into different teams. The team that manages to raise the most money gains bragging rights. Moreover, if you can ensure a large crowd to the event the venue might just agree to share a bit of the food and drink proceeds to your fundraiser.
