Want more? Be sure to check out our Fundraising Tips & Tricks!
Trivia Night
Pick a date, pick a theme, pick a prize and gather friends and family for a fun night of trivia as you raise funds for LymeBrave Foundation! Partner with your favorite local restaurant, bar, or activity center and charge tickets for food and drink coupons. Include fun activities between each round that can help increase your chances for fundraising success, including: raffles, silent auctions, contests, games, and more.
Host A Party
Having a party for Halloween? How about a themed birthday event? Why not turn it into a fundraising event? Party with a purpose by selling tickets to your bash or ask guests to donate to the Lyme cause in lieu of gifts.
Charity Run/Walk
Lace up those sneakers! Bring the community together and raise awareness for our cause by organizing a charity run/walk! Coordinate with your local municipality to set the course and acquire any special permits or permissions, then set up a fundraising platform for participants to donate upon registration. Don’t forget the sponsors! Reach out to local businesses to help cover initial costs of the fundraiser or to donate materials for the special event.

Charity Golf Tournament
Want to slow things down a bit but still incorporate a sporting event into your fundraising plans? Why not organize a charity golf tournament? Reach out to your local golf course to coordinate the cost of your event, then raise funds for LymeBrave Foundation by charging a registration fee. Include a sit-down meal or a raffle/auction to complete the event and raise more funds.
Want something a little less formal? Host a mini-golf tournament instead!
Hold An Auction
Sold! Hold an auction as part of another event or on its own and raise funds for LymeBrave Foundation. Ask local companies to donate gifts-in-kind or ask professional friends to offer services as a prize such as massage therapy, haircuts, gardening, etc.
Dress Down Day
It’s Casual Friday for a cause! Corporations and schools regular implement dress down days wherein participants donate $1 to wear jeans in place of their work attire or school uniforms for the day. Reach out to local businesses and schools and ask about participating in their Dress Down Day, with proceeds going to LymeBrave Foundation.
Host A Benefit Concert
Communities are brimming with artistic talent. Reach out to local performers to see if they’ll play a benefit concert with proceeds of ticket sales going to LymeBrave Foundation as a service-in-kind or at a discounted rate. Be sure to coordinate logistics with your venue, including permits, insurance, and security. Combine additional fundraising ideas to make the most out of your event.
