S-U-C-C-E-S-S!

If your looking for a quick fundraising boost listen and learn. It will take some planning , thought and organization but in just 5 hours (open house style) and roughly 13 supporters you to will watch your fundraising thermometer sky rocket.

All you have to do is:

Invite pretty much everyone you know to your house. It is important that you ask your guests to leave their wallets at home but bring unwanted jewelry, old, unworn or broken gold, silver and platinum jewelry and turn it into CASH. Have a Gold Home Party buyer sit at your kitchen table and purchase that old class ring, broken necklace, sterling silver flatware set, silver coins, even dental gold. Watch as your family and friends scream like giddy school girls when they are given large amounts of CASH.

With the cold hard cash that the guest were given they will be lining up to purchase raffle tickets. (Raffles were donated by vendors or local business owners.) Guest will still think they are rich and want to take a take a spin on the around the world shopping extravaganza that will be set up on the entire first floor of your home.

Get vendors and local business to help you out.

Tasty treats were provided by Yorktown Cookie Co. Owner, Lucia came up with some very clever ideas this year keeping up with the spirit of the 3-Day. Over The Top Cupcakes donated 28 cupcakes in a jar. We didn't have ONE left.

Don't forget to sell your team swag, it's the icing on the cake!
