Fundraisers

 

With the continuing low level of corporate sponsorship for revolutionary organisations it seems that the fundraiser will be here for a good while yet. The downside is that they can involve loads of work, stress and loss of sleep. The upside is - well obvously the cash - but they are also a chance to have fun, meet new people, and to play with new cultural forms outside of the narrow confines of consumer society. Ideas?? Well music and dancing work pretty well, but there are also film nights, auctions, lunches, raffles, screenings of large events, massages at festivals (seriously it works great) etc etc. The most important thing is to leave plenty of time and also energy for advertising, as the number of people who come is obviously the most important thing.
