One of the things we like most about throwing casino parties is getting to help a great cause at the same time. It’s a unique benefit of our work – fun plus philanthropy!
Our philanthropic clients throw fundraisers throughout the year! A popular time to schedule a fundraising event is during an awareness month.
Awareness months are designed to bring focus to a specific need or cause. They help to organize groups around the country and ramp up activity. During awareness months, organizations get to join with the community to educate people about their cause, hold special events and increase efforts to raise donations.
For example, November is Diabetes Awareness Month. For 30 days organizations across the country are arranging events to push for a cure and educate others about a disease that affects over 29 million Americans. It’s the perfect time for a fundraiser because awareness is high and people are interested in helping out.
But you don’t have to be a diabetes non-profit to participate. Even businesses can bring attention to their work or industry during an awareness month. Health food stores can sponsor Diabetes Awareness Month events or donate goods and services for a charity event. Companies that manufacture glucose measuring products can partner with a non-profit to host educational seminars.
Awareness months give you the perfect opportunity to get involved whether you host a single fundraiser or hold events every day or week during the month.
