Try to plan your event as far in advance as possible. Build awareness and excitement in the meantime.
Keep an eye out for other large events around the time you would like to plan your event.
If you don’t ask, you won’t receive.
Utilize your community for help. There are plenty of people willing to lend a hand.
Always remember that it’s for the children!

Create your action plan. Determine how much money you hope to raise, how many attendees you will need to hit your goal, and the time commitment necessary to ensure everything is set. The more you plan, the more likely you are to succeed!
To help make your event a success, remember to keep expenses to 50% or less.
Make a planning calendar and timeline. Do this as early as possible.
Certain events or venues might need to be booked months in advance, so it is always best to plan ahead. Set regular meeting times for your committee members and meet often to ensure your communication lines are strong.
