Event Concept & Plan

Project details

What we need
  • 3-5 one hour calls with an events professional covering topics like concept, general structure, logistics, and target attendees
  • A written summary of topics discussed, including event concept and theme, general plan, estimated budget (optional), and articulated goals (feel free to use this template as a starting point)
  • Note: This project does not include on-site event coordination or support on the day of the event
Additional details

Our organization is planning a "Virtual Dance Challenge" for Brain Cancer Awareness Month in May, 2021 and we need guidance on how to make it into a successful fundraising event!

What we have in place
  • We currently have a fundraising idea, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have social media platforms and a visual graphic (in development), and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to provide "Comfort Backpacks" to children diagnosed with cancer and their families.

This project will help our organization yield increased participation and donations.

Our mission

Berni & Murcer-Friends for Life provides emotional support, day-to-day comfort, encouragement and inspiration to children diagnosed with cancer (and their families) through the use of therapeutic "Comfort Backpacks", stories, and on-line services, which allows the child to be transformed away from the trauma of the diagnosis & treatment and to a state of mind of strength, hope, and courage. With thoughtful comfort and creativity, children are enabled to maintain their identity and give themselves every chance of a healthy outcome.
