Spring Budget Fundraiser

Fundraising Club Competition

Why Have a Competition?

• Club leaders unhappy with current budget allocation• GBA budget based on number of students and therefore

unlikely to sufficiently increase • So, why not create a contest to encourage GBS Club Leaders

to fundraise for their clubs and increase their budgets?

Competition Details

• Clubs will all start at $0 in terms of fundraising efforts counting towards the competition (i.e. previous fundraising or corporate sponsorship money will not count for this contest)

• Clubs will be given until 12 PM on the last day of classes (Section Feud Day) to fundraise for their club and submit their results

• Fundraising efforts can be in any form (corporate sponsorship, community fundraising, club dues, etc.)

• The total amounts will be compared and the winning club announced at Section Feud

Prize Money

• Prize money will be awarded to the top 2 fundraising clubs and will be added to the club’s budget allocation for spring semester

• Prize money:– 1st Prize = $150 - $250– 2nd Prize = $50 - $150 (Jeff and Reed will determine actual

amount)

GBA Bowling Fundraiser

How this works?

• Opportunity to bring the entire GBS community, friends, etc. together for a night of bowling– Fun, Fun, Fun!!!– Proceeds will go toward the Spring budget (i.e. Kegs)

Questions…
