Mobilizer Fundraising

by Kris Anderson

These past couple weeks have been exciting for the interns here at Mobilize.org as far as fundraising goes. We had organized and held an event at Rumors on 19th street that raised about $450 for MAY. We found that the best ways to raise money at an event like this are silent auctions, raffles, and guest bartending.

We have been very successful in soliciting donations from generous community businesses such as Burberry, Subway, Brooks Brothers, J Press, Barmey Liquors, the Washington Nationals, local golf courses, and more. Last week we held a fundraiser with Baja Fresh in dupont circle, and raised $175 for MAY.

We also have several upcoming events for Mobilizing America's Youth. Tomorrow, Wednesday July 19th we are having a Fundraising Happy Hour at Big Hunt in Dupont Circle from 5-7 pm with raffles, silent auctions, and hopefully stiff drinks courtesy of guest bartending. Next week, we will be holding another Baja Fresh fundraiser on Tuesday, followed by a possible fundraiser at California Pizza Kitchen on Conneticut avenue on Thursday. We hope to raise another few hundred dollars over the next two weeks. These funds will go to our current Student Debt Campaign and SOS campaign, as well as YPAC and our Mobilizer teams.

Thank you to those of you who have attended our recent fundraisers and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
