After the swimming we are having the Summer Barbecue . At the Barbecue we are going to do the Pick a Number Board Fundraiser for parents and swimmers.
1. Understanding the Pick a Number Board Fundraiser What Is It? At its core, the “Pick a Number Board Fundraiser” is a unique, interactive way to raise money for a cause. Imagine a large board or poster divided into a grid, with each square or segment containing a number. Each number represents a specific donation amount or a predetermined category of prizes. Participants, driven by curiosity, excitement, or a sense of community, are prompted to select a number, contributing the corresponding amount to the fundraising goal.
The process of a “Pick a Number Board Fundraiser” is designed to be straightforward and enjoyable. Here’s how it typically works: Setup: First, you prepare the board with numbers. This can be done on a physical poster, a chalkboard, or even a digital platform if you prefer an online approach. Each number on the board will correspond to a specific donation amount. For instance, number 1 might represent a $5 donation, while number 50 could symbolize a $50 donation. Choosing a Number: Participants then choose their favorite number or a number that holds significance to them, and contribute the corresponding amount. The appeal here is often driven by personal connections to specific numbers, or simply the thrill of making a random choice. Element of Surprise: To add an extra layer of excitement, some fundraisers integrate surprise elements, such as hidden prizes or raffle entries behind certain numbers. This gamification aspect keeps participants engaged and motivated to contribute more. Donation and Rewards: After picking a number, the participant donates the specified amount. In return, they might receive a small token of appreciation, recognition on a donor wall, or the chance to win a prize if their number had one assigned.
