Raffle and Information Tables Fundraiser Soccer Tournament Raffle and Information Tables

Raffle We put together two baskets that we raffled off in Students Commons. The baskets had over $500 in donations from our sponsors.

Right To Play Table While set up in Student Commons we managed to draw people in by kicking around a soccer ball and playing pass with people walking by. Once people stopped to check out what we had set up we were able to provide them with information on RTP, flyers, and registration forms that they could take with them.

Evaluation All in all we believe that we successfully raised awareness and funds for the Right To Play organization. We can take a lot of positives away from the first annual Right To Play Soccer Tournament. Near the exit of the dome, we had set up a quick evaluation for the participants to fill out regarding their experience. We only received positive feedback. Although, there is always room for improvement and adjustments to be made. Overall we are happy with the outcomes of our events.

Funds Raised Raffle: $130 Soccer tournament: $720 Total: $850

Our Experience This was a rewarding experience and we all enjoyed working together and accomplishing our goal of advocating and spreading awareness about Right To Play and the work that they do.
