Grande Prairie Suds Night/CAC Fundraiser

[paulw22]

I was reading about the Calgary crew raising funds for the CAC and had a idea. I recently went to a fundraising supper at the Lions Den in GP, we had to sell tickets for a steak supper and a portion of the ticket went back to the group. So to kill two birds with one stone we could have a Suds night and raise some money for the CAC. I think that we had 100 tickets to sell, if they were all sold they would close the bar down to the public and it would just be the supporters there. I am not sure about the details on the Lions Den, but maybe someone knows someone there. If we could involve the Swan City Snowmobile Club, they could possible do a 50/50 draw and put those funds towards there cause, maybe even door prizes. I have no contacts with the Lions Den or the Snowmobile Club, so hopefully some others could help with the contacts, then we could make a plan to get something going. Steak, Beer, and fundraising for some good causes, sound like a good time to me.

Input please.

Great idea. I think the GP snowmobile community could support something like this. I was at the club meeting last night and now would be the time to do this, lots of excitement out there right now. Maybe talk to the group that did the fundraiser you attended to get contacts for the Lions Den then get in touch with me and I can bring it to the club.
This is what our community needs is a good social outing to start off the season.

So I got the low down from the Lions Den. We can get 150 tickets printed. Each ticket is 15.00 for a steak dinner. The bar is closed to the public from 5-9 o'clock. They only do it on a Saturday. The next available space is in February. If we did a 50/50 we would need a licence for that. Raffels are ok to do. I don't know anyone with the Snowmobile club, I beleive they would be a major part of this as thay have contacts with the dealers and hopefuilly get some good door prizes. It would be good to split the money raised between the Snowmobile Club and the CAC. The portion of the ticket to the fundraiser would be 7.50, if all of the tickets are sold and only 80 people show up than you only pay for 80 meals, therefor making more money. With a 50/50 and some door prizes we could raise $3000.00.

Good info Paul. If the next availible slot is in Feb. maybe we could tie it in with the clubs poker rally that is held the weekend after the family day weekend. Give me a PM, we can get together and hash out some details that I can present to the club.
That being said, we should do a suds night just to get a bunch of sled heads together for a few.
