A Sure-Fire Way to Raise Funds
We could not possibly estimate all of the possible uses of the fire pit.
Fire has been around for as long as time has existed, and ideas for its use have been developing ever since.
Even the concept of fund-raising can be combined with fire.
If you are considering the many creative ways in which to raise funds for an important project, travel, or cause, you should certainly add a fire pit gathering to the list.
Here are some ideas to get you started.
Host a marshmallow night: Invite all of your friends for a night of tasty competition involving lots and lots of marshmallows.
You can charge a small admission for tickets but be sure to supply the marshmallows.
To raise more money, you could have certain guests bet money on competition winners.
For example, one game that could be played is "Chubby Bunnies.
" This game tests a competitors ability to stuff marshmallows in their mouths and say "chubby bunny" after each one.
Non-players could agree to donate as many dollars as marshmallows in the mouth.
Have a BBQ Chicken Dinner: Yes, you can barbecue chicken around a bonfire! Set this dinner up just like any other fund-raising dinner and invite all of your friends and family.
You could even have a neighborhood cook-out! You can charge by plate or by item.
This would also be a good opportunity for the sale of candy or baked goods.
Sing Campfire Songs: Gather your song-loving friends (and make sure the neighbors don't mind) for a night of campfire favorites.
Donations can be made for song requests or for the best song of the night.
You might also raise money by selling specialty coffee drinks, home-made blankets, or s'mores during this event as well.
Let your creative ideas wander as you think of ways to tie the fire pit into your fund-raising event or vice versa.
People are drawn to events like these when they know they can have a good time.
Where fire and food is involved, you are bound to see people who will be willing to donate for your cause.
Provide a memorable time, and you will gain support and respect.
And when you are all finished for the night, you might even considering auctioning off several fire pits for the guests so they too can create memorable evenings and sure-fire fund-raising events in their backyard.
You never know what kind of chain reaction might result!
