[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 86450, member: 2459"] I did a benefit a couple of years ago for our local drive in after their screen blew down. We had about 6 bands play and had it all at the drive in. I made sure that the bands were "family friendly" and charged by the car load instead of by the head. The owners of the drive in also had their concession stand open so we had food. Something like that would work though if you have a good cheap/free location and all but one of the bands did it for free. (The one that wanted money was basically just for gas since they came from a distance away and I had no problems with that) We got area businesses to donate stuff for prizes and we also sold tickets for a 50/50 drawing. (the winner gets half of the money and the drive in got half) We also had a local radio station promoting it and it drew people in from all over the area. I had also contacted some celeberties to see if they would donate items and got a couple of things from that. A guy I work with just did a memorial golf outing for the family of a guy that used to work with us. He was killed in a car accident and left behind a young wife and very small children. Golf outings (weather permiting), benefit concerts, bingo night, Vegas night, carnivals.....basically anything you can think of can be turned into a benefit. Good luck and if you need any other help or ideas let us know! [/QUOTE]
