Special Event Fundraising
August
21, 2008
1:00-
2:00pm EDT
Special event fundraisers are an opportunity to
raise money, of course, but can also increase the visibility of an
organization. Because they can be such a great marketing device, there
are many details to consider, from the invitations and decorations to
food and music. This one event could be the image of your organization
in the community. So whether they're held at a private club, feature a
live band, dancing, dinner, awards, or a raffle, they're about having
fun.

ARCADIA
Kelly
Quirke, Executive Director, Friends of the Urban Forest (San Francisco,
CA)
Arcadia is an invitational biennial event, conceived by artists in 2002
as a way to make a significant contribution to San Francisco's urban
ecosystem. The Bay Area art community has welcomed the opportunity to
transform their art into trees and enhance our city one artwork and one
tree at a time. In 2007, through the generosity of Bay Area artists,
more than $185,000 was raised for Friends of the Urban Forest.
