**Have a look at the community calendar section of almost any newspaper and you 
will find it filled with a variety of fundraisers. But how do groups organise a 
successful money-making event? And what are some new ideas, beyond the usual car
washes, bingo games and bake sales?**

From “-athons” (e.g., bikeathons, walkathons) to yard booths, over 225 proven fundraisers
are included in this essential reference work. Each entry contains a brief description
of the event, the type of workers and tools needed to ensure its success and a reference
to the resource directory.

Hints for organising and developing fundraising events are also given, along with
a section of “success stories” that further emphasise the basics of effective fundraising.

The resource directory provides names, addresses, phone numbers, and product descriptions
for companies that supply materials and information needed to implement the fundraisers.
