Step 1

Choose a venue or theme and start planning!

Be creative! Plan an event around something you love to do - Cooking, karaoke, bowling, golf, crafts, swimming, skiing, fishing, axe throwing, trivia, etc. Host an event at a venue that offers a fun activity. Charge your friends a higher price and donate the net proceeds to Cure MAPT FTD.

Event Ideas

Entertainment Venue

Book a two hour group event at a local entertainment venue / bar / restaurant). Charge friends/family/colleagues $XX pp to attend, more than the actual per person cost, and donate the proceeds to Cure MAPT FTD.

Tip #1: Ask the venue if they offer discounts for a fundraiser.

Tip #2: If you have strong ties to a local business - ask them whether they’d be willing to sponsor the event to cover costs for food/beverages/entertainment.

Dinner Party

Invite friends to join you for a special home cooked meal for a suggested donation amount, equivalent to what they would spend at a fancy restaurant.

Tip #1: If you know any local chefs, invite them to do the cooking pro bono and increase the suggested donation amount!

Tip #2: Ask local grocery stores / wine stores to donate the food / alcohol.

Restaurant

Ask around your community whether a restaurant would be willing to donate X% of all revenues on Tuesday December 3 to Cure MAPT FTD. Then let all your friends know that by eating out at that restaurant on December 3, they are supporting a cause important to you!
