Shaken or Stirred?

This fundraiser is sure to create a buzz and bring in the customers. It is appropriate for adult fundraising groups and a strictly over 21 crowd. Find a local bar or nightclub that is willing to let you use their facilities. Contact local celebrities and ask them if they would be interested in being a bartender for a night and help out your organization. The mayor, anchorperson from the local news, athletes, police chief, fire chief, and local singers are all good ideas. Advertise for your event with the local television stations, cable channels, and newspapers. Write a professional press release to increase your chances of being covered. You will earn money through tips at the bar, and perhaps a percentage of the cover charge at the door. On the day of the event, have the celebrity bartenders arrive early so they can learn their way around the bar. Have the professional bartenders there to help them out. You can’t expect the celebrity bartenders to know what a pink squirrel is their first time out. You may want to have some kind of crowd control to keep people moving along the bar so everyone has a chance to order.
