The Jazz for Peace Benefit Concert Series is an event which can
attract NEW supporters and create ADDITIONAL awareness, publicity and support
for your organization. Because we do not wish to have your
personal information, the only thing we ask is that you identify
the 35 people or so who will be allowed to purchase the limited amount of VIP discount
tickets (a $50 per pair savings!) that we have available.
Obviously because of the discount, these special tickets (which
are sponsored by Jazz for Peace so that the same amount of money is raised for
you as if they had paid full price!) should be awarded as a way to say THANK
YOU to those special
people such as
friends, family members, and previous supporters of you, your board members and
your organization who are often asked to do the heavy lifting at your other
events.
Since we are only looking for 35 close friends, family members and
supporters to jumpstart your event (of course you may still email the letter to
as many people as you want) it does not exhaust your regular donors in any way.
In addition, they will be delighted that you are having a fundraising event
designed and dedicated to expand awareness and attract new members and
supporters! And the best part of it all is that WE create
the jump start letter for you so that all you have to do is click "send”.
This simple and minimal effort combined with a handful of phone or
in person follow ups has enabled over 800 organizations to confirm their events
with money already raised for their cause and even more importantly create the
foundation for our Staff to grow their Empowerment Tree in ways unique to their
previous events that even we would have never thought possible!
