Fabulous Fundraisers

Whether you want to organize fundraisers for a small, local cause, or if you want to raise a large amount for a future dental mission - early planning is a must!  Fundraisers do require forethought and effort, but they are a great way to get your team members and your local community involved in accomplishing your goal. 



Tips for getting started:

*Identify how much money you need to raise

*Brainstorm as a team for what type of fundraisers would best fit into your local community

*Get friends, family, and your patients involved by  posting newspaper press releases, sending flyers in pt  bags, and most importantly, talking about it - let them see your excitement!


*Talk to your colleagues and your doctor's associates and specialists you have a close relationship with about making a donation

*Speak with different representatives regarding  product donations

Fundraisers we organized:

Yard Sale/Bake Sale
Have your staff donate unwanted items in good condition for the yard sale - there may even be items around your office that you aren't using. (Please get your doctor's permission first)  Bake up a storm!  We made items ranging from easy cereal bars to layered cakes.  Portion your baked goods in individual packaging.




If possible, hold your event when there is a community yard sale or other town event to get the most traffic.
