Fundraising
Opportunities
Your organization, school, or booster club can raise money. Proceeds will be shared by your organization and the Lions Club charities. You will be able to participate in one of Denton County's premier events, the Highland Village Balloon and Music Festival! This event draws more than twenty thousand patrons from all over the North Texas area.
You can operate your own carnival game for income generation. Some ideas might be Ring Toss, Bean Bag Toss, Can Smash, Dart Throw, etc. If you can imagine it you can do it! Just come up with an idea, create a business plan, and make it happen. We will be delighted to have your group participate.
What do you need to do?
First, call or email Mike Sawyer to tell us you are interested. If you have a game in mind that you would like to do then be sure to include that information. Then create a business plan with your group and submit it to Mike Sawyer for approval. Once it is approved you need to go to work to make it happen!
What do we need to see in your business plan?
a. Name of the game.
b. Space requirements
c. Safety issues.
d. Rules of the game.
e. Number of workers on duty.
f. Hours of operation. We prefer that you be there on Friday (5:00 pm to 10:30 pm) and Saturday (9:00 am to 10:30 pm)
g. Equipment used.
h. Setup time. We prefer that you setup on Friday before noon.
i. Electrical and lighting requirements.
j. Cost of Equipment.
k. Prizes given if any.
l. Cost of prizes if any.
m. Amount you will charge each participant.
Keep in mind that your group will accept only tickets as payment and each ticket is worth $1. You can charge any amount as long as it is in one dollar increments. When you cash in your tickets, your group will keep 75% and the Lions will retain 25%. You need to charge enough to make a profit but keep it reasonable so that people can afford to participate. Make it exciting and your game will be popular. If you award prizes it may be more attractive and may boost your income. But, again, prizes are optional. Remember, your group is completely in control of your game.
