Fun Day of Fundraising at Local Brewery



Hamilton, MT - The Women’s Wellness Clinic at Sapphire Community Health will host a fundraising event at the Bitter Root Brewing Co.  The event will feature music by the Josh Farmer Band, and fun events for family members of all ages.  Event organizer Heather Liebe said that kids will find face painting, balloon animals, a craft table, and other fun activities. Men – and women, if they choose – can participate in the “Manly Stashes” mustache contest. Mustaches will be judged on creativity and crowd appeal, according to Liebe, who is contemplating adorning her face with her own hair.  “The Ravalli Women’s Wellness Center values families and hopes to have the entire family together for our fun events,” she said. The event’s proximity to April Fool’s Day is just a happy coincidence, according to Liebe.  www.fundraising-ideas.org

Crazy Sports Night Fundraising Event



Riverhead, NY - Friday night's annual "Crazy Sports Night" fundraiser hosted by the Riverhead PTO Executive Council was a successful fundraiser for a good community cause even before the first whistle signaled the start of the games.  "Crazy Sports Night" is a competition among teams of teachers and staff at Riverhead's public schools, who compete for the highest total points in games such as three-legged races and tug of war. The sold-out event raised more than $5,400 in ticket sales alone, PTO Executive Council treasurer Kristy Wilkinson said in an interview last week.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
