Flamenco Night Fundraiser Raises $2000 for Pilgrimage to See Pope

Myself along with fellow youth at my church needed help financially in order to go see the Pope in Australia for World Youth Day. We did many events but the most popular one was a Flamenco Night.

We were lucky enough to find a Flamenco band to do it for free. We sold tickets to the concert, had professional dancers, and served dinner with the youth as the waiters and hosts.

Along with the dinner and music, we had multiple raffles and silent auctions going on at the same time. They ranged from electronic devices to Religious icons.

Overall, this night was very successful, we were able to raise over 2,000. While it is not enough by itself, we catered these events throughout the year along with multiple raffles and anonymous donations after the youth gave their personal experience how God has helped in their life, and why it is so important to go to this pilgrimage.

Auctions certainly are a great method of fundraising. Internet auctions offer the capability to get bids from far more supporters when compared with old-style auctions. Why not invite 100,000 people to your upcoming auction fundraiser?
