Arts & Crafts
How to Plan an Arts/Crafts Fundraiser
Brush strokes or pottery wheels? Gather with your friends and family for a day of art at a local studio or in your home. Have an instructor teach a drawing class, donating their fee to the cause, or head outdoors with your group to sketch in nature. From watercolors to photography, you’re only limited by your imagination. Auction off your final product to the highest bidder.
Dance
How to Plan a Dancing Fundraiser
Tango, ballet, tap, salsa or swing — dance is an amazing workout and a great way to celebrate Do What You Love to End ALZ. Rent out a dance studio and hire an instructor for your group with proceeds going toward the cause. Choose your favorite type of dance, or select a type for all ages that doesn’t require specialized shoes, such as line dancing or polka.
Music
How to Plan a Music Fundraiser
Are you a talented guitarist? Are you friends with a band? Celebrate with a day of music. Organize an at-home event, or gather at a local theater or music school for a day of piano, cello, violin — whatever you love! Charge admission or set a fundraising minimum for the participating musicians. You may consider organizing a visit to a nursing home or senior center to play for the residents.
Sing
How to Plan a Singing Fundraiser
Bring together a choir or all of your friends and family with a set of pipes! Organize a karaoke party or an evening of songs; sing pop or theater music, or favorites of someone you know affected by Alzheimer’s. Take song requests in exchange for donations, and post videos of your performance on social media.
