Good Morning Team – Party with a Purpose concept started by broke bachelor and takes zero or little cash outlay to start and run.<\/p>\n
Based upon the premise that people – especially baby boomers – have an innate desire to;<\/p>\n
1. Make a Difference by doing good.
\n2. Be a part of something bigger than themselves
\n3. Have FUN.<\/p>\n
The original pwp concept was developed around a weekly happy hour at a bar. You determine the schedule based upon how much fun you can stand. <\/p>\n
The concept is simple…schedule a party….arrange for discounted food… charge a fee to enter the party….and donate the difference to the charity that is represented at the event. Someone – preferably a volunteer from that charity takes 5 minutes to speak about that charity….and why they give their most valuable asset – time – to that particular charity.<\/p>\n
Example: I’m a small business owner in the X industry and I volunteer for the X charity because xyz and the rewards that come from this activity are xyz. Clue: no obvious self promotion. The charity MUST be the sole focus of the event.<\/p>\n
My wife & I have done these informal fundraisers many many times. The amounts raised are typically measured in just hundreds of dollars and everyone has a good time doing something for the greater good. The recipient is almost always the local Team favorite “Nourish the Children” or “Force For Good”. <\/p>\n
Hosting a PWP is an excellent way of becoming active in your community as a small business owner – as well as a soft shoe way of letting people know who you are and what you have to offer….and later some of them will do business with you. <\/p>\n
This week we’ll do a “double”. We’re co-hosting a Texas BBQ fund raiser at a local nonprofit – MorningGloryRanch. While the fees collected will go to our favorite Nourish the Children – the ranch will also benefit from having people come from the
\nGreater Houston area…thus raising the greater houston area awareness of the ranch and what equine therapy is doing for children with autism and other neurological conditions.<\/p>\n
The key is having FUN while serving the greater good.<\/p>\n
