Attention Non Profit Groups - As many of you know, the Attleboro Area Council for Children, Inc. has continually raised its own funds.  Not an easy job when you have no paid staff, limited printing and postage costs.  We know that many of you have experienced tremendous cutbacks in state funded programs.  
 

  For our citizen based volunteer group that advocates for children, we wanted to share an idea that we have been using successfully in keeping money in our Council accounts. Since we rely heavily on our volunteer operated Council, we have participated in the easiest event possible.

Our long time friend, Dave Kane (right) created a great dinner theater concept called Just for FunDS.

The dinner is prepared on site at a dining facility.  Dave Kane provides the entertainment with great audience participation.  All we do is sell tickets for $30, we keep $10 from every ticket we sell and the best part is that it is not held on just one night.  Since this is a weekly fundraising show, one week you can sell 20 tickets and you have already made $200!  If you sell 100 tickets you already have made $1000 with no effort other than selling the tickets.  You get to offer different dates to those interested.

It has been our experience that if we share the weekly availability of the Just for FunDS show, we all benefit. We get a full room of fun entertainment; offer a nice meal and evening out for our many benefactors.

If you would like to find out more details about this fundraising effort, please contact us at kelly@councilforchildren.org or by phone at 508-226-2336. We look forward to hearing from you.
