FUNDRAISING EVENTS

Kids and Parents alike can: promote the show, sell tickets, usher, bake cookies and run concession stands. You could even combine events, such as a spaghetti diner (dinner theatre anyone!) or run a raffle or a 50/50.

For immediate assistance in scheduling a show at your venue, contact our Marketing and Promotions Director,

Doris Armento at (973) 903-0823 armento@warwick.net

Here are some estimates of the profits you could accrue:

	Sales: $5 per ticket	Sales: $10 per ticket	*Base Cost of Show**	Profit You Make
300 people	$1500	$3000	($1000)	$500-$2000
500 people	$2500	$5000	($1025 / $1125)	$1500-$4000
700 people	$3500	$7000	($1075 / $1250)	$2500-$6000

* - The BASE COST for bringing either THE PEOPLE GARDEN or THE NEW KID to your venue is

$1000 plus 5% of gross ticket sales over $2000.

More Money-Making Ideas:

DINNER THEATRE: You could have a pre-show spaghetti dinner in the cafeteria, with "theatre flair" and kids as waiters, and then head on over to the auditorium for the evening's entertainment - and charge $15-$20 per ticket! (for DOUBLE or TRIPLE the profits noted above!)

RAFFLE: Make a few hundred dollars (or more!) extra by raffling off something! End the evening with the announcement of the winners!

50/50: People buy tickets and contribute to a pool of money and then the winner splits it with your cause!

PROGRAMS: Kids can ask local advertisers to buy ad space in a program that is distributed to all ticket buyers. Ads can be business cards ($25-$50 each) to full page ads (for $100). You can even have one line "boosters" for $5-$10.

CONSESSIONS: Sell baked goods, candy, soda, even hot food before and after the show for $300 - $500 profit.

OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL COSTS

It is our policy to collect 20-30% of the balance paid in advance as a deposit when booking the show, and to have the remaining balance paid no later than the date the show is performed.

ADD $100 - if your paying entity does not issue a deposit on our assembly program.

ADD $200 - if balance is NOT paid for IN FULL on the day of the show.

ADD $200 - For shows more than 100 miles from Clifton, NJ

ADD $50 - if you must be enlisted as "additional insured" on our insurance policy.

Any additional pricing alterations may be implemented at the discretion of Sandcastle.
