Our Play in a Day event gave supporters a unique, fun, and memorable theatre experience while showing the Canmore Summer Theatre Festival mentorship program in action. By featuring past mentors and mentees on stage, we connected the fundraiser directly to the artists and community it supports. The Zeffy event form allowed us to create multiple ticketing levels, and attendees had the option to add a donation when purchasing tickets. To boost the fundraising potential even further, we added a silent auction, which raised an additional $1,070: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/canmore-summer-theatre-festival-silent-auction

One thing another nonprofit could repeat is building your fundraising event around a distinctive experience that brings your mission to life. For Pine Tree Players, the Play in a Day event linked the cause to the experience itself: supporters enjoyed a unique performance by the artists their donations help support, making the impact of their contribution feel immediate, meaningful, and tangible.
