Get ready to tickle more
than a few funny bones as National Tell a Joke Day falls on August
16. To help get the ball rolling, here are three quick fundraising
ideas to help you put a smile on the face of both your donors and
the people you help:
I bet I can make you
laugh…
Walk up to people and
tell them you can make them laugh within 3 attempts. If you succeed,
they give a donation to your cause. Be sure to stock up on more than
a handful of jokes.
You can increase the
amount you raise by videoing your attempts to make others laugh and
posting the video on YouTube. Don’t forget to add donation details
in the description box!
Reverse raffle
Put a clever twist to a
classic fundraising event. Hand out raffle tickets for free at the
start of the event. Instead of giving away prizes, however, you
raffle out funny yet embarrassing penalties! Should the “winner”
choose not to accept the penalty, he or she can return the ticket
along with a donation.
Beard art contest
Have several friends grow
their facial hair and participate as models. Contestants then channel
their inner stylist and try to make the funniest look. They can
choose to braid the beards, shave opposing halves off, dye the hair,
and other silly things they can think of.
