Restaurant Fundraisers

Did you know that some restaurants will help you host fundraiser nights? Several national chains sponsor programs like this and local restaurants may be willing as well. They typically have an application you can fill out and they will help select a night or two that you promote for everyone you know to go eat out at their restaurant. Everyone that dines that evening with a voucher for your fundraiser helps raise funds. Restaurants typically give between 10% and 20% of the proceeds of people who present the vouchers. It's a great project for a church to take on and even promote to other groups that use your church building. It can be like a church dinner without any risk of getting stuck washing dishes! Contact Sarah Riester in Resource Development (sriester@dom.disciples.org or 317-713-2564) for suggestions or for information needed for application forms.
