When organizing a special event for a nonprofit
organization you will be confronted by many
questions like do I need a celebrity? Should I
do a silent auction? Will media cover it?

If you follow a few simple rules, nonprofit
special events of all kinds can be successful.

1. Ensure that the event and the nonprofit have a
   sensible connection. For instance, we paired the
   LA premiere of Annie as a fundraiser with a
   childrens charity for foster children called
   CASA, and a cat neuter and spay nonprofit,
   FixNation, with the play CATS.

2. Dont try to pepper the red carpet with
celebrities. Only one pivotal A list celebrity
can make your event. They will bring out the
media and keep the focus on your charitys
talking points.

3. Try honoring a reporter for his or her work
with either your charity or a related field. At
least, the reporters print or broadcast media
outlet will cover your event.
4. Without having a star celebrity, do not
expect media to show up for events after dark or
on the weekends. With the receding number of
available media reporters, there is little chance
they will cover to your event. Better to think of
some wonderful, creative photo you can take and
send out later.

  5. Silent auctions are a lot of work, and if
you hire a company to provide the items, often a
flop. We prefer to sell tickets for 5 to 10
really high-end and exciting raffle items that
people cant live without.
