How To Sell Chocolate Bars... Without Going Door- to-Door

Hosting a movie night at a local community centre or a school gymnasium is not a only a great idea for a fundraiser but it also can become the perfect venue to sell your fundraising campaign's chocolate bars. Your group can rent a projector and a popular movie and host a community movie night. Check the yellow pages for AV rentals or ask a member if they can have access to a projector from work. Don't forget to ask the AV rental company for a discount in exchange for advertising at the event. Don't forgot to make sure it is ok to show the movie (check if there are any local laws, that may prevent your group from being able) 

Tips for a successful Movie Night Fundraiser:
  • Charge a small admission fee
  • Choose recent and family friendly movies to show
  • Post flyers around the community and in the community paper or website
  • Sell Concession items such as pop, popcorn and chocolate bars
This is a true "Fun-raiser", which gets the community involved and raises the awareness of your group.
