Event Planning
Many people have asked what they can personally do to raise money for Sanctuary for Kids. We feel most honoured indeed that you would like to organize an event which would benefit us. You can get as creative as you want about what you would like to do:
- Perhaps you would like to achieve a personal goal and get people to sponsor you. Bike, run, swim – and invite friends to join you! We love the thought of people getting healthy and raising money for S4K at the same time.
- Host a Fundraising Friday! Invite your friends to watch Sanctuary with you. Make it potluck, pop popcorn, create a theme, or just gather around the TV (or PVR) for the show. Charge admission to your screening night and donate the proceeds to Sanctuary for Kids through our website. Twitter us on the night of your party, post pictures and tell us how it’s going!
- Have a street sale on your block. You can advertise around your neighbourhood and then donate the proceeds to S4K.
- Get creative and come up with your very own original way to raise money for Sanctuary for Kids.
Share your fundraising ideas with us and others. Post other community fundraising ideas that you may have on our Facebook page!
Promoting your Event:
We ask you to follow a few simple guidelines for promoting your event:
First, your promotional material must always make clear that Sanctuary for Kids is the beneficiary of the money raised at the fundraising event. We are never a sponsor or partner or organizer of the event itself. This is very important and, thus, we ask that you send us all of your promotional material prior to printing or distribution.
Second, use of the Sanctuary for Kids logo also requires our express consent.
Third, you can be as creative as you want in fundraising ideas, but we cannot sanction anything related to merchandise which is related to Sanctuary or another branded media form.
Please understand, we are honoured that you would like to give your time and energy to our organization and help us in this way. We are so grateful. Nonetheless, legal considerations prevent us from having you represented (in posters, or programs, or invitations) as “agents” or “representatives” or “co-sponsors” of S4K. This is why we must insist on these clarifications.
