- Say “YES” to hosting your ‘Dinner with Friends’ Fundraiser Gathering!
- Select Your Date and mark your calendar!
- Create Your Guest List. Decide on the number of guest you want to invite and make your guest list.
- Start Planning the type of dinner gathering you want to have. Remember you are in charge and anything goes!
- Send Out Invitations a few weeks in advance to give guest plenty of notice and time to R.S.V.P. Inform Guests that this is a Fundraiser and you will be expecting them to make a donation to H.U.G.S. in return for their evening dinner gathering experience.
- Lookout for the ‘Dinner with Friends’ Host Packet to arrive in the mail to you two weeks in advance of your selected dinner gathering date.
- When your guests arrive Hand Out the Survivor Pins, Donation Envelopes and the Informational Literature provided to you in your Host Packet. HAVE FUN AND KNOW YOU ARE MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
- Remember to Collect Donation Envelopes from your guests before they depart. You can also direct guest to a designated 'Donation Station' for guests to make their donation directly online using your computer/laptop/IPad or Tablet.
- Return Collected Donations to H.U.G.S. in the Donation Return Envelope back provided in your Host Packet as soon as possible.
- BE VERY PROUD knowing that your dinner party proceeds will fund programs offered by H.U.G.S. that support individuals impacted by the loss of a loved one to suicide. You help us to carry others until they can carry themselves.
