Another fundraiser we organized was a jewelry party, held on a Friday evening in our office. During down-time, we would make various styles of jewelry like necklaces and bracelets and even a few pieces of children's jewelry. It's great to get your whole staff involved in making the pieces of jewelry, because each of us has our own taste and unique style - and so will your shoppers. Turn your office into a boutique with decorations and creatively display what you've made. Have all items priced ahead of time and send invitations to ladies in your practice, friends, and family members for a "girls night" of shopping and hors d'oeuvres. Tell them to bring their friends and get ready for a fun time out. Remember to be good hostesses-dress up for your party and have as many staff members participate as possible!

Golf Tournament
Our golf tournament fundraiser definitely required the most planning, but it also turned out to be the most successful event-with the most donations raised for our dental mission. We visited local businesses in our community with donation forms and freshly baked cookies in hand, and asked store managers and owners for their support. For local businesses, we asked them for a gift certificate, prize donation, or for a monetary donation to sponsor a hole. In turn, they would receive recognition and advertisement at that particular hole. Of course, we let our patients know about our tournament and invited them to join us for a fun day of golf. Within several months, we had all of our holes sponsored, and had some great prizes to give away to winners in several categories.
Our staff and Amber's father catered the event (yes we made all the food!) and our golfers enjoyed a great meal after their day of golf. We were all exhausted by the end of the day, but felt like a million bucks when we saw the fruits of our labor.
