Charity Fundraising Party

Im organising a charity fundraising party on 5th April for Cancer Research UK.

I have had some fantastic prizes donated for raffles/auctions including a sgned Man U shirt, GHDs, 2 return flights to Barcelona to name just a few.

However, Im slightly stressing about entertaining people on the night- I dont want them to be bored!

I have organised a DJ, and there will be a hot open buffet, but thats about it! Other than the raffles (I have a total of 34 prizes), what else can I do on the evening that will be a good talking point?

I have a zero budget, and so any idea I had of a fun casino and chocolate fondue fountain have gone out of the window!

Please help!

    How about playing games.
  • The chocolate fountain is a good idea, ask around lots of people have them at home. If it's a domestic size though, you might need a few.
  • What about a quiz sheet for each table? You would need to put up a prize, but it needn't be a huge one. Put the photocoped sheet out, and possibly charge a £1 if people want a go. Say to be handed into DJ booth by ?pm, and then find someone (you wont have time), to check the results or get the answers read out.

    You could try card games.
