Host Your Own Event
Shorty, just hanging around in his hammock.
Some of the most successful fundraising events are those put on by people who just want to help out any way they can. They aren’t really connected to Craig Street Cats, but they want to help us out. Over the past few years they have done things like:
Garage Sales: some very generous people have hosted garage sales, and donated the proceeds to Craig Street Cats.
Dinner Parties: instead of going out for dinner, friends host dinner
parties at their own homes. Each guest puts what he or she would have spent at a restaurant into a ‘kitty’, and the total is donated to Craig Street Cats.
Birthday Donations: Winnipeg is blessed with some very generous young people who ask that friends and family make donations to C.S.C. instead of buying them gifts. Some parents have made that decision for their very young children and babies.
Other Event Ideas:
Kisses for Kittens: when wedding guests want the bride and groom to kiss they make a donation to C.S.C. We will gladly provide specially
decorated donation cans for this purpose.
Lemonade / Kool Aid Stand: Just what it sounds like. Yes, kids still do this.
Barbeque: Have a great time in the back yard and ask your guests to make a donation in exchange for their dinner!
Social: a time honored Winnipeg fundraising tradition

With a little thought, we’re sure you could make this a very long list. Be creative, have fun, and let us know what you’re planning. We’ll gladly
help out with promotion through our social media.

There are quite a few things you can do, and we will help you as much as we can by providing promotion and use of our logo. There are also some things that you cannot do:
You may NOT set up a crowd funding page on our behalf. We are regularly notified of pages set up by people who have no connection to CSC, and have no intention of ever sending money they raise to us. For this reason we check crowd funding sites (like go fund me) and ask that the management shut down any such unauthorized pages. If you wish to solicit donations on our behalf please direct people to our website donation page. Every penny will come directly to CSC, and your sponsors will know that the page is on the up and up, because they can confirm it with us.
You may not in any way imply that Craig Street Cats is sponsoring your event. You may state that you are holding an event ‘in support of’ or with ‘proceeds to’, followed by our name or logo. If Craig Street Cats will not receive all of the proceeds, you must state what portion we will receive.
You may not use our name in connection with any event or activity that is illegal, in poor taste, or casts Craig Street Cats in a poor light.
That’s about it. If you have any questions, or want to plan an event, please contact us at 421-1919 or by email at [email protected]
