Game Shows as Fundraisers
Posted by Bob Kramarik on Tue, Jun 15, 2010 @ 03:14 PM
Everyone loves a good TV style game show! There is even a cable TV channel that plays nothing but game shows. In recent years, among the top rated network shows has been Deal, No Deal, Are you Smarter than A Fifth Grader? And now the resurgence of The Price is Right with Drew Carey.
While everyone loves to watch, they would all love an opportunity to play. Unfortunately, seldom do we have a chance to play a TV game show much less win exciting prizes. By combining the excitement of a professional TV Style Game show and the chance to win great prizes, you have just created a wonderful Fundraising Idea!
Sponsorships and Ticket Sales are the key to raising significant money. You should search out an overall sponsor at a higher dollar figure and then sponsors for individual rounds AND the prizes you hope to give away. Tickets should be affordable and the admission should include some snacks, background music (which can be provided by the game show hosts), and a cash bar.
There are many games to choose from including versions of popular TV shows as well as customized game shows created especially for the group seeking funds or the corporation sponsoring the event. Take a game that asks several questions and you can sponsor the entire night, the prizes that are given away, each round of questions, the categories of questions, the game podiums, the ticket printing, the snacks, the emcee and even the location of the party! Tie in a media sponsor (usually radio) and your advertising can be free as well.
