GREAT QUESTION, but I hope you are sitting down for the answer! I LOVE this question and when you see the potential and the vision, I think you’ll be as amazed as we were. Then perhaps you can fully grasp our passion for this fundraising concept!
Let’s consider 2 possible scenarios:
One will be for bigger organizations which host different events throughout the country nationwide.
Second scenario will be for smaller local organizations in need of funds and their possibilities.
Large National Organizations:
(For our example we will use the run/walk events)
- 1 event a year in only 30 states
- Average of 400 participants per event = 12,000 people nationwide
- 20% of the participants host a party = 2,400 (Why would they host a party? They get a free 1/2 hour massage, and they need it with all the training they are doing, AND they get $200 or more for their event!!!)
- With each host raising the $200 minimum at their party – just look at the numbers! 2,400 people nationwide bringing in $200 each = $480,000 Amazing!!!
Okay pick yourself up off the floor now! We’re not done yet!
Now, imagine if 1/2 of those people have a friend that hosted a party for them since the same disease affected their family in some way. That is 1,200 more people bringing in $200 each equals an ADDITIONAL $240,000+ $480,000 = $720,000!!!
Who would not want to be a part of that!!!!????

Local organizations:
Here are a few simple ways to get started and then we build upon that momentum:
- Host a party in your office for the staff so they see how it works
- Ask staff members to host a party in their home (FREE massage for them)
- Ask each staff member to ask a friend or family member to host a party
- Promote our parties in your newsletters for past donors to host a party
- We can also combine several smaller organizations and host weekend events with multiple therapists to raise money that each organizations share
Even if only 5 people a month bring in an extra $1000 a month at no expense to the organization that amount can a major factor in whether or not that organization survives!
