Fund Raising Idea #23.....Have your team host a Restaurant Night.  How this works...contact a local restaurant in the area.  Explain that you are raising money for Relay for Life.  Offer to promote a certain night (the restaurant will pick this day) and for everyone that you send in, they will give a percentage of the bill.  Couple of things to remember......a lot of restaurants in the area are donating to Relay, so be understanding if they say they can't because they are helping in another area.  However, it also does bring business into their establishment, usually on a night that would be slower than most.  If it is a restaurant that offers take-out, such as pizza, find out if this would count as well. Then decided how to designate to the restaurant who these people are.  You could just make sure they say "I am here for the Relay for Life Fund Raiser", or perhaps they need to present a flier.  You can make small "tickets" with the information on it to hand out and get people in.  That is your main job - promote this night!!!  Send it into Relay to get it listed as a fund raiser, tell people about it at a meeting, put up fliers where you work and best of all - YOU go and have a BIG dinner knowing you are raising money for your team!!!
