Organize Closets

Jak says:

well first you’re going to have to decide on something more specific for the focus of the event and find a good charity that supports that cause. For example, you could have the event focus on poverty in a specific area and give money to a charity that provides food, shelter or medical care to those without in that area.

Then you’ll want to create a statement about what kind of performances you want to have at your event as well as when, where it will be and why you believe your cause and charity are important.

Now you can start getting in touch with people who are either interested in performing or attending your event. Start with people you know like friends, family and teachers. You might want to ask your principal if you can organize this through your school with other kids in your grade. If you could get other kids to help or even a couple teachers and use the school to host the event, you’d be off to a great start. Alternatively, you could hold the event at a park, or other public venue and the principal may be able to give you information on how to set that up.

Once you find a place and get some people you know interested in performing or attending, you can start advertising. Make some flyers with your statement and a picture or two plus your contact information and post them wherever people will see them. Libraries, supermarkets and post offices usually have bulletin boards you can post on. Also circulate flyers at your school, but first ask your teachers or principal. You can ask your friend’s music/dance/karate/etc. teachers to perform or have their student’s perform. You can get items donated form local businesses to auction off at the end of the event to raise more money. You can have a bake sale or charge for admission.

It’ll be a lot of work to make it a real success, but I think you can definitely do it if you are willing to put in the time and effort. Good luck!
