Hold an Event
Here's a list of some of the events that have taken place in the last year:
- birthday parties for Seva
- house concerts
- bottle drives
- dancer performances
- slide shows
- dinners and lunches
- book readings and royalties
Here are some more ideas:
- Walk, bike, run or swim for Seva. Get your friends,family and colleagues to sponsor you and ask them to join you to really make a difference!
- Host a dinner, wine tasting or other meal. Why not make part of the evening a blind tasting. Ask your guests to make a donation that is equivalent or greater to what the meal would cost them in a restaurant. Then challenge your guests to host a dinner party of their own to keep paying it forward.
- Hold a sale for Seva — a garage sale, book sale, plant sale, bake sale. Why not organize your neighbours to make it bigger, poster your neighbourhood, advertise in your weekly papers and make it a community event that brings in hundreds of potential buyers.
- Sell Paperblanks journals for Seva. Hartley & Marks Publishers have generously donated thousands of beautiful blank journals to Seva which are sold at half of retail price for our sight programs. Note: They cannot be sold in locations that would compete with existing retailers. Visit the Seva office for an amazing selection and sell them on consignment for us.
- Sell Putumayo calendars that support Seva.
- Hold a concert or performance for Seva. This is also a great opportunity to hold a silent auction to add to your fundraising revenue.
- Invent your own event or fundraising initiative. You’ve got the skills and talent to do something amazing!
