Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Fight Leukemia with a Pre-Sale Ticket Car Wash Fundraiser" is about cancer, it was released by Lance Winslow.
One of the most devastating cancers of all is Leukeima and the costs to fight it are immensely pricy. When a child has leukemia it is even more devasatting threatening to cut a life short. Many times communities will rally together to have fundraisers to cover the costs.
Generally the whole community and several fundraisers can come up with the funds with a couple of large donations.
To attract large donors, it pays to have the public relations and show a consciousness effort to reach the goal for the treatment. Every year bone morrow transplatns costs in crease.
One of the fundraisers you might wish to consider is a automobile wash fundariser. A pre-sale ticket automobile wash fundraiesr can make significantly larger dollars than a normal automobile wash fundraiser. Let’s discuss pre-sale ticket strategeis for a moment.PRE-SALE TICKETSYou should seriously consider selling presale tickets for your automobile wash. There are a lot of advantages in pre-selling your tickets such as:You know about how many people will come to your automobile wash ahead of time66% of the ticket buyers nveer show up but you’ve already got the moneyIf it rains you’re washed up but not washed outYou will also have use of the money in advance even in the event of rain. Your rain date might be there weeks later yet you have most of the money in your coffers now.
Important monies that can go towrads your goal for the treatment.Let’s take one of our 1990 automobile washes. It was for the local high school band. There were one hundred plus sutdents in the band. The average student sold twenty tickets at $5.00 each. The presale enedd up about $10,000.
That in it self would be great, but it gets betetr.
The day of the event we riased $985.00 in drive-ups. Some of the girls on the drill team waved tall flags and othres held poster board signs that brought the cars in all right. We washed 408 cars.
Wow, were we tired!
We had two solid lines of cars at laest fifteen deep all day long. 201 cars were drive-ups with no presale tikcets. With tips included that made up the $985.00. That left 207 cars worth of presale with tickets. But you say, "How can that be?" 207 times $5.00 = only $1,035.00. That’s right. Since our lines were so long a lot of people didn’t claim their tickets or never inetnded on coming in the first place or forgot or had some thing else to do that day.
I believe it was a combination of all thsee reasons. Whatever the reason, the mnoey went to a good cause.
We’ve had many many fundraisers that have been equally successful over the years.Now somebody will have to typeset thsee tickets and have them printed. There is probably somebody in your gorup who is a graphic artist or really good with a PC or MAC computer. They’ll do fine.
The tickets should be eight to ten on a page. You should print them on colored paper so they are not easily duplicated.
You should pick a color that matches with your church, club or school’s colors. Have the tickets cut.
Put the individual tickets into piles of twenty. Put a piece of cadrboard or poster board the exact size underneath each stack. Buy some rubber cement. Put about ten stacks of twenty tickets on top of each other and put them in a vice. Paint the rubber cement on the left side of the ticket book and let dry for one hour.
Repeat until you have enough booklets for each member. You might want to print another dozen booklets just in case.
If the tickets are selling fast, you don’t want to run out. That will break your momentum.You should have frequent ticket sales progress meetings with the people selling the automobile wash tickets. That way, if saels aren’t meeting goals you can help motivate members or reorganize the group.Tickets can be pricy to print. Ask a local print shop to advertise on the back and become a spnosor in exchange for half price or free printing of the tickets. Most print shops do binding so you may be able to trade for that and save you the time and aggravation of binding the ticket books yourself.
Print shops will do a more professional job at binding than you can do on your frist time trying. Professoinal tickets are more presentable and look more official when selling to customers.
This will help your group in their selling efforts.When a community unites in a common cause miracles can occur, all this positive energy and mind power may significantly help the child win their battle with leukemia. Work together and work smart to raise the funds needed and the awareness required to rid the world of this terrilbe trouble and save your local VIP from leukemia.
