CREATE an EVENT
 
Social Entrepreneurship continued •Involve local stores Go to local stores and explain what you’re doing and ask for things they might donate for free that you can sell... extra t-shirts, extra nail polish, gift certificates, anything they can think of! And give the store lots of credit and publicity for helping you out! Print their name on an event brochure, on a sign that includes your sponsors, maybe even a t-shirt. Or maybe do something we haven’t thought of...and send us an idea! •How about... — Comedy Club Nights — Movie Nights — Dances — Open Mic Nights (for music acts) — Sporting events — Garage Sales For these ideas you must: — Have a responsible adult or adults every step of the way depending on your age — Know about how many people to expect — Find a place to hold them (that will hopefully let you do if for free) — Be sure you can sell soda and snacks — Be sure there are no insurance problems — Find out exactly what hours you can use the facility — Pre-advertise the event A LOT! — Advertise MORE — Go around to your local merchants and ask for their support. Post flyers with them, ask them for merchandise to sell at the event, or ask for money from them and in return, put up banners with their names. Be sure to go to the stores teens will shop at... Music stores, clothing stores, toy stores, bookstores, etc. — Take pictures of the event; Send them to us and we’ll post them on our website! NOTE: Please see important section about Rules and Guidelines before you send anything out. eventRULES.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0
