Breakfast with Santa

The Concordia Homes organization needs to first get the information about their organization out into the community so they know who they are. They need to develop their need for money and support. They should make a page on each of the major social networking sites, and print a brochure about the organization. The signature event that they organization should put on is a Breakfast with Santa. This is an event targeted for kids because this is the organization does and it will offer a chance for publicity for Concordia Homes.

Breakfast with Santa

The budget for the event is $700

Money raised goal is $3,000

There needs to be great advertising for this event to happen successfully. There should be flyers printed up to be distributed in schools, libraries the grocery store any place that parents and kids will get excited about the event. A radio ad and posting on social media to help get the word out. A site for the event to be at needs to be reserved. Churches and local veteran clubs are great places to look into. There need to be volunteer recruiting for the event to be successful too. Tickets need to be sold in order to know approximately how many people will attend the event. Tickets will be sold in advance for $10 per person and $12 for tickets purchased the day of the event. There will be an additional cost for pictures with Santa. Santa pictures will be $5 per child. There will be a cost for hiring Santa too. When the children are waiting for their picture with Santa they need to be kept occupied. There will be a craft area, coloring book station, and a storybook area. The storybooks will not cost anything because they will be Christmas books borrowed from the library. During the breakfast the servers will be wearing elf costumes. After the event is over there will need to be clean up.
