Turn Your Event into Something Special
Would you like to organise an event and help support local families through the Alfaz Food Bank?
We would be delighted to welcome you as a Community Partner in our BIG Christmas Raffle Campaign.
Whether it's a quiz night, themed dinner, charity afternoon tea, live music, golf day, bowls competition, coffee morning, or something completely different, every event helps us raise more money for local families in need.
For smaller events, it's simple. We provide the BIG Christmas Raffle tickets and promotional materials, and you simply sell the tickets. You can hold as many events as you wish, with every ticket sold counting towards your Community Partner recognition and star rating.
If you'd like to go one step further and organise a larger fundraising event, we'd love to work with you. You organise the event, keep any profits from food and drink sales, and we'll help maximise the fundraising through the BIG Christmas Raffle while giving you the recognition you deserve as one of our valued Community Partners.
Simply:
Agree a suitable date with us to avoid clashes with other campaign events.
Organise and promote your event.
Arrange any entertainment you require.
Invite us along to sell BIG Christmas Raffle tickets.
We'll add all raffle ticket sales from your event to both your Community Partner total and the overall BIG Christmas Raffle Campaign total.
You can choose whichever option works best for your event:
You pay for the entertainment as part of your contribution to the campaign.
The entertainer performs free of charge as their own donation to the campaign.
Entertainment costs are included within the admission price, allowing your guests to enjoy the entertainment while still supporting the campaign.
An Official Community Partner window sticker or poster.
Two Community Partner Stars for organising an Official Event.
A further two Community Partner Stars if you provide and pay for the entertainment.
Entertainers who donate their performance free of charge will receive two Community Partner Stars in recognition of their generosity.
Promotion of your event on our website and social media before the event.
Recognition after the event, including the amount raised and the Community Partner Stars you have earned.
Your contribution added to the official BIG Christmas Raffle Campaign fundraising total.
To help every event raise as much money as possible for the Food Bank, we ask our Event Partners to support the campaign in the following ways.
Include a BIG Christmas Raffle Ticket
Please include €5 in the admission price of your event. Every guest will receive a FREE €5 BIG Christmas Raffle ticket as part of their entry.
The €5 allocated to each raffle ticket should then be passed to us and will be included as part of your overall Community Partner contribution.
Help Us Maximise Ticket Sales
At the event, we'll exchange each admission ticket (or another agreed method of identification) for the guest's raffle ticket. We'll then invite them to purchase another four raffle tickets for just €15, giving them five tickets for €20 while helping raise even more money for the Food Bank.
Welcome Our Volunteers
Please provide complimentary admission for two Official Campaign Volunteers, who will be selling raffle tickets throughout the event.
Provide a Small Display Area
Please allow us a small table and display area (approximately 1.5 metres wide by 2 metres high) where we can promote the BIG Christmas Raffle Campaign and the work of the Alfaz Food Bank.
Together We Can Make a Difference
Together we can create fantastic events, have great fun, recognise businesses, organisations and individuals who support our community, and raise thousands of euros for local families who need our help.
Thank you for considering becoming a Community Partner by hosting an Official Event as part of the BIG Christmas Raffle Campaign.
