DIY DO-IT-YOURSELF EVENTS
Here are some fun ideas on events that you can do yourself:
SPORTS TOURNAMENT
WHAT IT IS:
Grab your family and friends by putting together a fun sporting event! Organize a tournament based around your favorite sport: softball, baseball, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, or golf. The participants can solicit support from neighbors and co-workers to create teams and bring in additional revenue.
WHAT YOU’ LL NEED:
A field, court, course, or other place to host your sporting event, sporting equipment, signage, players and teams.

SCHOOL / WORK EVENT
WHAT IT IS:
There are a wide array of events that a school or work group can participate in together. These events foster collaboration among your school or work community and can be a fun activity anytime of the year!
Examples include:
• Jeans Day: having each participant make a certain size gift so that they wear jeans on the designated day
• Class or Inter-department Competitions: generating friendly competition between different groups in your school or work community can be a great way to generate revenue. Activities such as athletic events or cook-offs enable each team to raise their own funds
• Send-a-Flower: this could be done at Valentine’ s Day; St. Patrick’ s Day – or anytime during the year. For a small gift, each participant can choose who they would like to send a flower to
