Organize the Best Halloween Fundraising Event in Your Neighborhood

Halloween is one of the ideal times for arranging fundraising events for some good cause. It is among the most popular festivals celebrated every year on October 31. You can introduce some of the most common Halloween party activities, such as carving jack-o'-lanterns on pumpkins and game of trick-or-treat in your fundraising event to make it all a fun-filled experience.

At a Halloween fundraiser, you can also organize a kids' costume contest. You can even plan a few games for the children, such as apple bobbing and others and offer them chocolates and burgers as treats. The money collected from the games, refreshments, donations, and clothing can be used to help children celebrate Halloween in a better manner.

Some of the favorite activities that you can organize at your Halloween fall fest fundraising event are:

Duck Pond

This is a great game for the young kids where they have to fish out ducks from a pool. They get prizes depending on the symbol on the underside of the duck. You need a baby pool and about 10 to 12 plastic ducks floating on water. Next thing is to put a symbol on the underside of some ducks. Mark one or two ducks with a 'star' symbol that will fetch a grand prize. Allocate smaller gifts for fishing the ducks containing other symbols.

Football Throws

Take a big wooden board and cut holes of various sizes in it. Kids will get points on throwing the football through the holes. Throwing the ball through the smaller holes offer better prizes compared to what is there for targeting the bigger ones.

Basketball Bounce

You can make kids try out the exciting game of basketball. They will have to bounce the basketballs into the barrels to win prizes.

Lollipop Pull

Get a huge bag or bucket filled up with lollipops. Color (red, blue, green, and others) the bottom of some lollipop sticks. The kids will then have to pick up a lollipop without seeing whether it is colored or not. Associate each color with a particular gift. Kids who pull out the marked pops will win small prizes.

Face Painting

Kids always love to paint their faces. You can hire an artist to use different colors for kids' face painting.

Draw Jack-O'-Lantern

Give the kids pencil and paper to draw their jack-o-lanterns. Tell them to color the jack-o-lanterns beautifully. Give prizes to the three best drawings. Children can also draw a jack-o-lantern on a brown paper bag and wear it on their head to scare people.

Trick-or-Treat

Children and teenagers will visit each home in their neighborhood, asking for some gifts. If they do not get any gift, they might do some silly tricks or pranks on people to scare or disturb them.

Haunted Attractions

Fundraisers can organize a haunted attraction, especially for the kids. You can charge a fee to view the attraction. It includes haunted houses, corn mazes, and hayrides.
