I am Jeff Zaret the Chair of the Kettering Relay For Life in Ohio and we worked with Outback Steakhouse to do a lunch buffet that raised over $2000.
The idea is simple: Outback dontated the food and the manpower and the restaurant since they are not normally open for lunch, we had a local printer dontate the tickets that we sold for $10 each. We also took additional donations and had a raffle with donated prizes. We asked the guests to leave something for their servers since they were working for free and they were very generous.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or the pdf files for the tickets.
Hi- This sounds like a wonderful fundraiser! I would like to receive some more info. about how you organized it all and would love to receive the pdf files you have for the tickets. Whom did you originally contact to get this event set up, your local Outback restaurant or a regional office?Thanks for sharing this info.!
We do this same Outback Fundraiser in Jackson, TN and we have raised over $8,000- we are able to sell tickets for 2 lunch seatings one at 11 and one at 12:30 and then we are also alotted a certain amount of To-Go tickets to sell as well ( this works great with teachers at schools) We have also attached a silent auction on to the lunch. I would be happy to send any materials if you need them. Outback Steakhouse has been great to work with!
